“While this pic definitely defines “a picture is worth a thousand words” - it’s also a serious reminder that a good fire department is like a good insurance policy: while you hope you never need it, (and you get annoyed paying for something you may never need) ...when you do need it-you want the absolute best.” @billygfire
