What's with this holiday weekend?

Friday, five calls.
Saturday, three calls.
Sunday, 2 calls - so far.
Ten calls inside three days is a little beyond a joke!

Friday's calls I've mentioned. Saturday -
13:58 - Support call for a grass & scrub (brush fire for those non-aussies). Small fire in a patch of parkland.
16:53 - Support call to a going grass & scrub fire, could have got nasty but was rounded up.
22:54 - Support call for a house fire - they wanted our thermal imaging camera.
I didn't get on a truck for any of those, plenty of people around and I was on the pumper for all five of the previous day's calls...

Sunday:
10:51 - Support call, bin fire, when the primary brigade failed to get out the door in four minutes. They cancelled us as we were about to drive out.
11:30 - Primary call for undefined fire in backyard - turned out to be a hungi (Polynesian underground BBQ) so perfectly alright.

By writing this I've probably jinxed us...
