Fire fighters, right? What’s not to love. Brave, dedicated, often heroic. They go above and beyond the call of duty. This weekend I heard/read a lovely story about a firefighter trying to rescue a Wellington woman’s cat. It actually happened near my cousin’s house a few hours before we arrived for a visit. You can read the article by clicking here. In a nutshell, a fire fighter climbed a tree to try and get a cat down, but the cat wasn’t so happy about being rescued. Long story short, both he and the not-so-friendly-feline fell out of the tree. A helicopter had to be called in to winch the guy to safety, but luckily, the reports are he’s okay (and the cat took off), but the sweetest awwww moment? First thing the fire fighter asked when he regained consciousness was whether he’d “got the cat”.
And the other thing about fire fighters…at least the ones I like thinking about, ha ha, are the ones who look like the guys in the below clip:
