These people also sneak in the fire scene to eat the well-portioned meals prepared for the firefighters who have traveled from all over the country to help save the towns and natural resources of an area. The first structure fire I fought occurred two weeks before christmas. I was driving down the road and smelled the smoke. I rolled down my window and followed my nose until I saw flashing lights. I donned my fire gear and approached the scene.
Many interesting things happen on a fire scene.
As an example, when the first crew began to enter this home, they crawled into the smoke filled door way when out of the smoke came a cat foaming at the mouth and crying. The firefighter was so stunned he instictively grabbed the cat and threw it away from the house. The cat landed on the face of the assistant fire chief and it dug its claws into the chief's face. She then removed the feline and he went on his way. We managed to save most of the house and christmas presents, but this is not always the case.
