Savin' Lives..

OK. Every firefighter is willing to rush into a burning building to save a life. Our motto tends to be:
We will risk our lives to save someone else's life.
We will risk a little to save savable property.
We will not risk anything for nothing.

With this in mind, read this article about a homeowner in Arizona.

Firefighters entered a burning house Monday looking for children after a woman told them her three babies were inside.
Officials later learned she was referring to her pet cats..
Don't even ask. The answer is no. I like my cats medium-rare.

The house was packed with clutter, which made the fire burn hot, even making the cooler on the roof glow red, Ogden said.
Oh, if your house is packed with so much crap we can't get in, we call that a HAZARD, and WILL REFUSE to enter the dwelling. What the hell is wrong with some people?

Greetings to a fellow rescuer and kindred spirit (or,..spirits, if you're talking whiskey)

Can't agree w/ you more. I've been on medical calls were the patient had pets living better lives than there human owners.

I just shake my head and move on....
