I love firefighers, they are the only profession, other than the military and maybe police work, which occasionally demands such a sacrifice. :sad: How awful.

I got stuck with my car, couldn't turn at the road cause all kinds of idiots came, filming the fire with their mobile phones. (I almost hung a journalist with his feet up in an oak-tree. :evil: ) Saw the fire-engine come and 4 fire-fighters went inside. Only one came out :sad: . They retrieved the bodys of their dead colleages some 45 minutes later. I wanted to get away from that place but got stuck for another 30 minutes after that. I had a horrible weekend, I can tell you. :arrow: mindy
