So I was driving past a fire station the other day and passed this scene. I about crashed, it looked so funny. So I do a u-turn, drive down another street and pull out the camera. I had to be at a distance so it wouldn't look obvious that I was taking a picture but it was just too funny.

So....how many firefighters does it take to trim a tree???

 

Maybe there was a cat up there....

 

10, apparently.

9 veteran firefighter and the new guy

 

Well see you got your driver on the far left. You got the driver's safety officer next to him. Next guy is the field supervisor, standing next to him is the regional director. To his right is the environmental impact specialist. Standing on the truck is the going out on a ladder tech. It looks like you have the community relations officer and his supervisor out there.

 

How come only one guy has a red helmet?

Is it like in the old Star Trek when the officers beam down with the 1 red shirt ensign who always ends up getting killed?

Sucks to be him.

perhaps a training session...?

 

Training on how to trim trees? The guy had a chainsaw up there.

It's not in the picture but there were a couple of other guys standing in front of the fire truck as well.
