    I got excited there for a second. I was thinking, wow! a fireman rescuing a cat - now that’s my kind of fireman. But my kind of fireman has to be a man. DFO is such a tease.

    One thing about hiring women firefighters is: Are they strong enough to climb a 60 foot ladder and rescue someone? I wouldn’t want them to rescue me, unless Britney was suited up.
    ;-)

    BTW-Are there any ‘hot babe’ firefighter calendars around?

    I wonder if this fire-person would pose without a shirt? I’d enjoy that.

    The photo reminds me of a scene from the movie ‘Wag The Dog’…

    Severe water shortages in the Palouse forced firefighters to use cats to extinguish a house fire Thursday. “We lay them head to tail,” explained Lewiston firefighter Laura Gifford. “They put out the fire, plus it reduces the burden on our overcrowded animal shelters. It’s a real win-win situation. Except maybe for the cats.”

    I gotta knock off work early and go cuddle my kitty.
