Two For Tuesday . . . . [:)] <br /> <br /> <br />I may get "hosed" for this one from my fellow firefighters and train forum members but here goes. <br /> <br /> <br />From AOL News . . . . <br /> <br />MELBOURNE, Fla. (March 8) - Firefighters responding to emergencies here were in such a ru***hat they forgot to turn off a fryer in their kitchen. So the next emergency call involved a fire that started at their own station. <br /> <br />No one was injured in the blaze Thursday, because all four firefighters working at the time were out responding to several calls. <br /> <br />A Cocoa Beach firefighter was driving past and saw smoke escaping from the firehouse and called 911. <br /> <br />The firefighters from Station 72 then returned to fight the fire at their own station. <br /> <br />The building suffered a combination of smoke and fire damage, and the battalion chief has asked the city for a live-in trailer for the firefighters. He said the fire was accidental and no one would be reprimanded. <br /> <br /> <br />This sounds like something I would do. [;)] <br /> <br /> <br />Another strange story. Also from AOL News. <br /> <br /> <br />Let's Go Fishing <br /> <br />OSLO, Norway (Feb. 20) - Things probably would have gone better without Coke for a codfi***hat swallowed a soda can. <br /> <br />Stig Skaar and his family in western Norway found a slightly dented but intact Coca-Cola can inside the stomach of the fish, media reported Friday. <br /> <br />''I could see something wasn't right,'' Skaar was quoted as saying by his local newspaper, Marsteinen, in the western Norway town of Austevoll, some 185 miles west of Oslo. <br /> <br />The fish, caught in the waters off Norway's western coast, was long and skinny and weighed just a few pounds - far less than the 22 pounds a healthy cod of that length should weigh. <br /> <br />The empty soda can filled the fish's entire stomach, leaving no room for real food. <br /> <br />''It's completely unbelievable that he got the whole thing down,'' Skaar said. <br /> <br />Bergens Tidende, the newspaper in the nearby city of Bergen, reported that cod are notorious for their voracious and indiscriminate appetites. <br /> <br />For example, cods in Norwegian waters have swallowed an 11-pound otter and six frozen hamburger patties, the paper said. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
