Ramblin' On About Firefighters

Bruce Campbell writes a column in the High River Times called Ramblin' On. This installment is about firefighters. Here is an excerpt:

When you’re an eight-year-old boy dreaming of growing up to be a firefighter, you imagine it’s about running into buildings and saving some damsel in distress. What you don’t imagine is standing in the freezing cold, watching over a destroyed historical building in the middle of the night to ensure there are no more hot spots and that the site isn’t tampered with before the investigation.

Read the whole column - it isn't long. Bruce writes with humor and sheds light on the mundane but necessary firefighting tasks that the public doesn't often think about.
