Hey Edgar wahts up? When I was in Sanbernadino just about six months ago that when my problems got real bad when ever there was a fire in the big bear area or close to there I got HAMMERED it seemed like every Hawk in the hills came to my front door but if your close to the fire you may get a break but it's not good for the birds lungs.

I could see the Corona/Yorba Linda inferno going from my backyard. One of those million dollar homes you saw on TV burning to the ground was a friend of mine's place.

I love them firefighters. When I call 911 they get there fast, faster than police officers. I really love them. I also love those paramedics. I never encountered problems with firefighters and paramedics. Police officers do have some excuses from time to time like when I called them one time because my car was vandalized. They said they don't have personnel available in my area. What the dispatch didn't know was that I was looking at 3 cops that was just hanging out in 7-11 while I was talking to her. Such cruelty! After 3 vandalism, graffiti, we moved out. I've only met one cop that went beyond the call of duty. I really love that cop. He even took time to chat. Took the research and got the guy that did hit and run. He was really nice.
Maybe when I have BOP problem, I should call firefighters instead. No?

Hey Paul, tell your crew the LAFD thanks them for their help. OES saves our butts when things get out of control.
If you ever get down to HOLLYWEIRD stop by FS52 at Melrose X Western Ave. and we'll pour you a cup and talk rollers.
