But thankfully, it wasn’t for us. I was driving to the gym today, and about a mile from my house I saw flashing lights up ahead. At first I couldn’t see what was going on; I only saw the big fire engine and those brave firemen out helping yet another person in distress. The ambulance was just leaving as I got there.

I couldn’t take a lot of photos because my kawila was still moving, but I did get one of the bashed up car.  The kawila was turned completely around, almost going the wrong way. The only thing I can figure is that the driver took the curve too fast. Either that, or somehow s/he came down the embankment from the espresso kiosk up there to the left.

Again, the brave men from Boring Fire and Rescue were right there on the scene. As I drove by I looked to see if any of the guys who came out here last Wednesday were there, but I really had to concentrate on my driving. The last thing I wanted to do was hit any of them! These are only two of the incidents that they went to, in addition to a friend of mine the week before my scare. She had a real chimney fire, and they were right there to rescue her, too. So I only know about three. But I am quite sure that there were more. God bless all you firemen, wherever you are.
