Uhh...Hope not.
Doing a training burn one time years ago with 3 or 4 other deptartments.We'd played in this house pretty much all day and we just strated to let it go and somebody hollered "SKUNK!".This smoking ,dazed skunk comes out from under the back porch and goes stumbling across the yard.I saw 2 or 3 guys that I didn't even know could run on a good day clear a hedgerow in full turnouts and go trucking across the yard.
One other time we had a car fire in winter(Jan.,Feb.)in the evening on a side road.We get there and there is a guy and a girl from the strip club a couple miles away waiting in the snow.It was the guys car and I bet his wife wasn't real happy to hear his explanation.Of course,all their clothes burned up in the car.The State Police thought it was rather amusing too.
We were at a training house one day for practice and before we could start any evolutions we had to go through the house and clean it up a little because the owners just literally got up and walked out leaving everything behind. As we were going through the kitchen one of our engineers found a vibrator and turned it on and found it still worked. There was one guy on the department that no one really liked so the engineer turned the vibrator on and stuck it in the guy's bunker coat pocket. At first he didn't realize it was his pocket vibrating but could hear the noise and started looking for it. He definately got a big surprise when he figured out it was him that was vibrating.
think - Flash Dance !
Ok heres one for ya, I couple of years ago we were called for a fire. Arrived to find a the ceiling fan in the kitchen on fire. Pulled it down and about a twenty inch area around it to get the smoldering insulation. You know that nasty blowin in crap that goes all over the place. Anyway the chief has the TIC looking to make sure there was none of insulation was left after we cleaned up. He say's there is a hot spot on top of the fridge, walk over and sticks his fingers in a bowl. He has this strange look, states "Its wet I wonder what's in it". Lifts it off the top of the fridge with his fingers still soaking in it. Looks in the bowl "Uhh yuck it's someone false teeth", with his fingers soaking in it as he puts it back.
That's just sick and wrong right there... but funny as all hell
Hysterical - always carry a spare blanket in your vehicles - ya never know when you will run into random naked people
Are captain tells a tale of a car accident where there was one dollar bills everywhere. He helps the lady gather up her money. He has to ask where did all the money come from? You guessed it she was a stripper on her way home.
Are dept was called once for ems run on a Saturday night where we found a stripper who fell from the loft of a barn as she put on her show.
Went on a house fire call. Got there. The basement of the house had burned completey but never spread to the upper floor of the house. The fire had burn its self out before the owners got home.
Had a flooding condition during a rain storm. We walk in the front door and the water is at the first step to the basement and the family was home when it happened.
They were on the end of a flood plane and had planted trees in front of the storm drain in the backyard so the water backed up and directed toward the basement stair well in the back of the house.
Well the owners kids said they seen the water building up behind the door before it crash into the basement.
The basement had the kids bedrooms and family area and storage.
Took hours to pump the thing out with help from other stations using sump pumps and a mini pumper.
Talk about initiations when I turned 18 twenty nine years ago I had just joined as a full time firefighter with my dept. We has a fully encoved structure fire at about 3 in the a.m.! Upon arrival neighbors said someone was in there but house was already falling in! During overhaul we doing a body on a mattress cooking! No legs no arms just torso and skull. My captain showed me how the organs like the liver and heart and intestines and stomach usually don't burn! Then he showed me the right way to cool the body and how to peel it off the spring matress and place it in the body bag for the crime lab for autopsy. The first try getting under it and lifting on my knees with the body just inches from my face my fingers went right through because I missed the backbone! It was like a scene from the night of the living dead! On a more funnier note we got a call when I was a paramedic about a heart attack and the responding unit needed backup and help getting this four hundred plus pound woman out the door! We gad to saw the doorway to get her out needless to say over an hour later we got her to er she passed. I went to the room by myself to retrieve the intebation tube and when I tried to remove it she moved her arm and brushed my side! I busted out that hospital room hollering like a little girl and the Dr.s and nurses were laughing histerically at me! I though she was coming alive on me!
Your house fire story

YUK - OH YUK - OH DOUBLE YUK
