That lad in the Bolton News ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work for chucking stones at working firefighters.

Reckon you could find him something to do ?

Why Fire Engines? he could of thrown them at caravans on Chorley Street Car Park :)

I could certainly find him something to do. If it was up to me I'd take him along to a couple of house fires and give him all the kit we have then drag him into the hot stuff. He'd come out shaking like a shitting dog.

Will you let him sit in the engine on bradshawgate on a Saturday night, seagulling the tarts as they totter by?

No fuck that, he's not a real fireman.

He told me that he only sings the theme tune?

In order;

Spider, are you a fireman?

 

Anewman, not far wrong but I haven't forgotten what it's like.

 

Bolty, Bolton's burning doesn't have the same joyous feelings as london's burning.

Memorial to Firefighter Fleur Lombard QGM

Fleur was the first female firefighter to be killed in action in Britain since World War II. She was searching a burning Co-op supermarket (located across the road from the memorial, on the site where the local Tesco now stands) for "persons reported" when she was caught, and died instantly, in a flashover.

 

Could most of us do this Job?

Me, a fireman?

 

Don't be silly.

 

Any cat getting stuck up a tree can fucking stay there.

As regards the immediateness of Fleur Lombard's death, I really don't think a flashover can kill that quickly. I also think stuff like immediate is a bit of a comfort for her family who would rather think she died quickly rather than writhing in fucking agony.

I don't mean to glorify her death but am rather more matter of fact than those who were dealing with the family of a dead firefighter.

I couldn't do it in a month of sundays, I'd have to improve my clearance rates and sort my cueing action out.
