Does this guy have feet made of spun sugar? Is the water toxic?

  1. In a general sense I’m a fan of firefighters too. However I have a good friend that has a genuine dislike for them. He is a licensed, insured, and bonded landscaper, and he says his biggest competitors, other than illegals, are fireman. They work 2-3 days a week, have plenty of time off and money, and they all have a Kubota tractor. They don’t get a license, (that’s for civilians) don’t have insurance and are happy to get paid cash under the table from their buddies. I can see why he is pissed.

  2. Joe 6 pak : I can relate, Firefighters get in on the Landscape action here too.Usually Tree Pruning is their choice, as they know they won’t be Cited for trimming around Power lines.

  3. Maybe they get to bill him for use of ladder truck. Firefighters where I’m at respond to every medical call. You get billed for ambulance and firetruck. Even if firemen did nothing.

  4. He probably collapsed sobbing into the arms of one of the firefighters who then carried him in his arms like a bride across the threshold to safety. He’s still swooning.

  5. use a million dollar piece of equipment because some pussy didn’t want to get his poor widdle feets wet. Doesn’t the city of Atlanta have better things for their fire department to do, you know, like fight fires and stuff. You can’t believe the bill I would send to this pussy and the reprimand I would send the commanding fire officer on the scene.
    I was a fire chief in a small volunteer department. Everything that any man in your department does when on a call is your responsibility and you have be able to justify that to the city council. This response was done by highly trained and paid Atlanta firemen who damn well knew better. At least a serious ass chewing is warranted, if not a demotion for the lead captain on scene.

  6. Why use that expensive piece of equipment? A couple of scuba divers could have easily gotten him out of that ‘literally’ life threatening predicament.

  7. A few years back, we were coming home from Atlanta airport. It was around 1:00 am, I think. We’d been held up by night roadwork. My truck, loaded with luggage and the family, started to run out of gas on the downtown connector, but I managed to flog it across three lanes to the Edgewood St. exit. I glided down the ramp and turned right, looking for a place to get off the road. Lo and behold, there was a fire station! We rolled into the parking lot, and I went to the door and looked in. The place was all lit up inside, full of trucks, but no firemen.

    Then I noticed a truck facing me had an open door, and there was a pair of boots standing behind the door. I knocked on the door to get the attention of the guy with the boots who was bent over behind the door working on something, but he ignored me, because he was just a pair of boots. Once I figured that out, I spotted some other boots at work. I had to laugh; It was like a wax museum with invisible dummies. I managed to sputter the truck up the road and found a gas station, so we got home safely. Thanks for the laugh, AFD.

  8. I’m guessing a sewer line leak and we’re looking at feces, urine, and everything else that gets flushed down toilets with which we shouldn’t come in contact?
