No problem. My cousin's son, became a fireman AFTER he became a police officer. His family is not thrilled but they are supportive.

You should see me when I'm in a supermarket and all those TALL firemen walk in (I gather they are the cooks??) and they are buying all kinds of stuff, and I walk over and I say "oh, you're the cook today?" and they laugh and then I say: "if no one has told you this today, please let me ...Thank you for what you do".

They all say "hey, thanks for that".

We need to remind ourselves from time to time that these guys risk their lives every time they go into a burning building.

I've yet to meet a female firefighter. I know that they have some but not around my neck of the woods.

Can you imagine me walking up to a female fire-person? I can't wait to do this.
