When you live in Oviedo, life is always an adventure. Just a few minutes ago, the Seminole County Special Hazards & Operations fire truck came rolling up to my apartment. As the daughter of a fire-fighter, I knew to take fire trucks - and particularly HazMat trucks - very seriously. So I did what any self-respecting girl would do. I threw on my cutest pair of jeans, touched up the deodorant and the perfume, and went out to see what the commotion was all about.
So I stood outside with 8 fire fighters (no boots, no helmets....all of that should have tipped me off, and I still don't know how they all fit in the truck safely), and learned this was simply a standard training mission. They did ask if I wanted to ride in the truck. I declined. (My father also taught me never to get in the car with strangers, even if they are trained in emergency rescue).

We are SO proud of you for remembering the lessons of youth! Always look your best in an emergency. There could be a photographer....or a good looking firefighter! Watch out for those strangers too!
Love you
You're very conscientious. I like that.
My dad is a firefighter. I'm surprised that they didn't have helmets, even if it were only a training thing.
Joefish, it's Oviedo. We run a different ballgame in these parts.
So wait a minute... you got all gussied up for the firemen, and then they offer you a lift in their truck and you decline?!? Where's the joie de vivre? The spontaneity? Ah well.
