Who Ya Gonna Call? Not Herb
Herb:
As a supervisor in the gate crew, Silverwood, I once offered to help out
at the Main St. Theater. My job was to handle counter sales and make
sure popcorn was kept up. I dutifully filled
the popcorn machine, turned
it on and walked back to the counter. A large surge of guests showed up
at the counter. While serving them, I noticed some smoke. Holy Cow! The
popcorn machine was on fire. I turned it off and called for help. Smoke
had activated the alarm system which was directly wired into emergency
services. With fans, the smoke was sucessfully withdrawn from the
building without any permanent damage. I learned from this that I am not
a multitasker. They never asked me to help again.
Question: Have fire personnel ever responded to your home for any reason?
