==================================
The tree always wins!
Firefighters are hot stuff!
(Hug a firefighter and feel warm all over.)
All men are created equal, then a few become firemen.
You might be a firefighter if your kids are afraid
to get into water fights with you.
You might be a firefighter if the microwave goes off and you run
out of the house thinking it was your pager.
So as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe,
His beet red face or ice covered mustache,
You should know why he goes through that smoky front door,
And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor.
He does it to save both lives and property,
All that is precious to you and to me.
So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call proud and true,
And know that he would die just to save me and you.
