# Downloading pics NOW!
Just about to go for lunch when a fire engine races past. Grab camera and run for a look...much smoke on horizon. Jump in ute and shoot down - big fire in process. Coz all the firemen know me I wander in and start taking photos.... next thing there's a officer yelling at me to grab a hose and take a flank... and it's all on!

/edit: uploading them now to www.marshallsoftware.co.nz/b3ta/fire


Here's me in the bottom right in my borrowed gear
now I'm back at work... soaked and stinking of smoke

# woo
when i was driving home yesterday, i went past a fire station, and they were all on strike. but just as i was passing, a green goddess (and police escort) trundled past in the opposite direction.

it all seemed somewhat ironic, for some reason

# I've never seen
a green goddess.

I feel I'm missing out.

# it was the first time
i'd seen one too. it was kinda exciting, in a way.

(the same kinda exciting you get when the car rolls over to its 30,000th mile)

# I've only seen them roll over to
110,000 miles. Usually followed by the loss of the head gasket.

Been in a few "hot" ones but nothing like that.

# No family
Just a house removal company stockpiling houses in it's yard so that is good news! I always feel for familys that loose things
