We've always cooked at the fire department to raise funds. We've probably cooked up a ton of barbecue. We decided let's do it competitively, and here we are,

We would have rather had a fire like that and know that nothing was burnt or damaged. We didn't feel bad about it at all.

See how the intense heat from the fire affected the paint?

I got to believe that if those guys wanted to fire on him with the intent of hurting him, they wouldn't have missed. Even if they did shoot, it would have been on the ground or in the air just to scare him possibly. They said they didn't fire. So that's good enough for me.

It's a big step in fire communications ? the biggest upgrade that's been undertaken in at least 25 years.

The roof was being worked on and the fire began on the roof. That's what we know.
