Apartment Fire

My hubby's department ran an apartment fire over the weekend. I was trying to find some info on it and found this amateur video posted on YouTube of it. It's pretty cool to see in action...

Open House at the Fire Department

MacGyver's department had their annual Open House Saturday. He and Tank spent about three hours demonstrating a Search using 5 different bark barrels. The kiddos and I went and had breakfast and checked out some of their equipment, watched 'our boys' work and took the last puppy from our litter, Grizzy, the biggest of the chocolate pups. Four different families wanted her. She ended up settling into the EMS Chief's family, who fell head over heels in love with her. We delivered her to her new home a couple of days later. On the way home, the kiddos were asking their daddy about the hierarchy of Lieutenants, Captains, Chiefs, and Battalion Chiefs. Out of the back seat, Izzy says, "Daddy, is your Italian Chief really Italian?"  We laughed and laughed and then explained to her that they are Battalion Chiefs...not Italian Chiefs.
