I hope so because the count is now 2 ambulances 2 emergency services vehicles and many pickup trucks but no fire trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 12, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 12, 2018 This summer I was passed by ambulances and fire trucks with their lights flashing and sirens blowing. A few more miles down the road I came to the problem. We have a road with a long steep hill so it has an extra lane so you can pass slow vehicles. The right hand lane was all fire trucks and ambulances and police cars all with their stuff flashing. Over on the right side of the road was a fireman hosing down a lone tree that had somehow caught on fire. An exciting day in Mayberry. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be, it was a hollow tree and the fire went up the inside of the tree and caught the branches on fire. Maybe somebody was trying to smoke out a squirrel or porkypine?

2Far ★ Posted November 12, 2018 Share #9 Posted November 12, 2018 We live across the street from a firehouse. They go out more for groceries than actual calls. Until it rains. The they really make their keep. WTF do people around here lose their minds when it rains?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first moved to the city here, it soon dawned on me that the sirens would go off only a few minutes after the rain started. Every .... single .... time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share #11 Posted November 12, 2018 Nope. It wasn't a drill. The old rich guy at the end of the street passed away. I guess all they had to do was put the body in the bag and leave again. If anyone's interested there may be a house with a pool,tennis court and back yard access to a bike trail available here soon.
