Fire in Faraday

Drove into town this afternoon and saw black smoke off in the distance. Smoke, means fire and I love going to fires, especially if I can be there before the firetrucks arrive.

The building was fully engulfed by the time we got there.

One truck was there when we arrived the other pulled up shortly after, sirens blaring all the way up the road. Gets your blood flowing.

This is the way we fight fires up here; all volunteer guys and they do a great job. I inquired about volunteering and was surprised they actually take guys my age, wow!

The pumper truck pulled past the fire and headed for the lake. A hose was quickly unrolled and a line fed into the lake to keep the tanks in the truck full. Everyone knew their job and got right to work as soon as they arrived.

Thanks guys, hope I never have to call you.
