If the fire department were called to your house and they burned your house down, I would wager that we’d start hearing that exact song.

When I worked on wild land fighting crews we were told never to report weed grows if we came across them in the woods. The bosses said that we don't want create distrust with local growers to where they won't call in a fire or maybe shoot up our shit if we started busting them. This was before weed was legal naturally.

Awhile back, before COVID, I was awoken one morning by a deep male voice saying “Fire department!”

It was about 545 AM, and I woke up with a huge rush of adrenaline.

I have kids, and my mother in law lives with us.

I rushed out of bed and ran to see what was happening.

My heart was pounding.

I turned the corner and saw 6 firefighters standing in my dining room with my mother in law looking pale at the table.

They told me she’d called because she couldn’t breathe or yell loud enough to ask for help.

They examined her and determined that she’d somehow punctured the tube that supplies her oxygen.

Not only did those guys give her a new tube, they hung out and made sure she was okay.

They were polite, respectful and cognizant of property damage.

Rather than break down my locked front door, one checked the back door, which was open.

Firefighters, in my experience, are awesome people.
