i rescued a laptop

i put out my second car fire today. it was in the U of U's parking lot, where you have to drive passed a guard shack to pay your fee's with one lane going in and 3 coming out. due to the position of the flaming car, we drove lights and sirens in going right into traffic which caused quite a panic. i jumped out and got to the nozzle first so i could squirt it out. it was flaming up pretty good, we knocked that down then popped the hood to even bigger flames. tons of smoke, lots of fire, but we got it out. then we got into the car to check to see if the fire got in, and there was a lap top under the dash right by where the fire was. without thinking i climbed into the non flaming, non dangerous car, and moved the lap top to the back seat. i'm no hero, just doing my job. the owner of the car came up in time to see his car flaming and a fire man breaking his window. he lives in provo but goes to school at the U. i told him thats probably a sign from the good lord that he should've gone to BYU.

Good rescue Jason. I am impressed. Just out of curiosity, havent you always wished that due to the high pressure in the hoses that you could fly around? You know like the cartoons. Anyway, I know this is a random thought but it has just been on my mind so please let me know if this is at all possible.

You crack me up haha I'm glad you told him that God isn't happy with him going to the U instead of BYU haha that was probably exactly what he wanted to hear after he found his car burning :) I'm glad your job's getting more exciting and still staying safe!
