A cheeky look at the world of firefighters

You know that feeling when the rumor mill at the firehouse starts churning? One minute we’re hearing we’re getting three new rookies, the next it’s six! Then, bam, budget cuts hit, and suddenly we’re shedding bodies faster than a Labrador retriever sheds hair in July.

Until those new faces walk through the door, or those pink slips hit the desk, it’s all just … well, smoke. So it might be a good idea for us to take everything we hear with a grain of salt, and maybe a whole shaker, when it comes to firehouse rumors.
