Day 152

This was the view from our sliding glass door tonight.  A wee little grass fire, right across the freeway.

I was dropping Rob and the girls off at home, and just heading back out the door again to tan...when something caught my eye.  Although pretty small, it was a grass fire moving quickly toward the RV park and mini storage.  But of course in no time Pasco Fire was on it...and had it out.

I guess fire season is upon us?!?

Day 149

It's a party, and everyone is invited!

Today I was just hanging at home, when I heard a fire engine coming down the freeway.  As it passed I realized I was looking at Hanford Fire's Aerial truck going code in Pasco, and I thought something really big must be happening.

Turns out, the old hotel down on Lewis street was on fire, and went to a 4th alarm...4th alarm, that almost NEVER happens!

Mom happen to be out and about and swung by and picked Rob and I up and we ran down to be looky-lou's.  All of the action was pretty much over, but there remained a pretty impressive fleet of apparatus.  Haven't seen this much stuff in one place in a very long time!

Fireman Frosty

This is a card I made for a young man in our community named Trey. He is 16 years old, and has a terminal illness. This year for the holidays, his mother asked that individuals fill their mailbox with holiday greetings.

I made and sent this card on behalf of the entire Fire Department. I hope he liked it.
