Don't know how I escaped but I still have 2 ears.

You should try to launch the Firemens' Ball in the US.

Many mariages started that way in France 

Quote from: joe cassidy on Today at 03:00:25 PMThe photo of the poor dog with his head stuck in a wheel reminded me of when I got my head stuck between the stone pillars of a bridge parapet when I was a nipper.

As for the "groupies", in France many fire stations have an open day when we celebrate French culture day and in the month of June every fire station in France organises a "Firemens' Ball" to which the local population are invited (they have to buy a ticket).

Do you have that in Abilene ?

Oh, man. Glad you made it! How did you escape?

No we don't have that. What a great idea. We have a lot of community things, but that sounds very cool.

Those are my personal groupies.

Round 3 -

I'm a day early but we just had the most stereotypical firefighter call ever...












Poor girl made not a peep the whole ordeal. 




Pressurized smoke acts weird and here it looks like it's oozing.


Some groupies wandered into the station...

Got me hopes up prematurely for the Aussies vs the USA

That's great, thanks Dave.

Quote from: lil chris on June 17, 2026, 08:19:51 PMJust got some good news today, following my checkup scan in May I have been told I am still all clear. For anyone who does not know I had cancer in 2023 and had a opperation, then had chemo in 2024 and was told all clear. So well happy, I had a feeling it would be ok because I was booked a telephone appointment, but still glad to find out proper. Been told by the hospital they will be keeping a check on me for the next 5 years, which is good to know.
