Fire Hall No. 4

There is a certain peace of mind knowing that there is a fire hall less than half a block away. Considering I live on one of the most popular intersections in vancouver to have an accident (bikes and cars don’t mix) this brigade still takes the time to drive the truck that half a block to lend a helping hand. They also have an extensive public outreach and each summer have an open house where the neighbours can get together to meet the firefighters, they pull out all the trucks for kids to climb on and to ask any question they could possibly ask about being a fireman… or is it fire person I always get that confused. I also enjoy truck washing day as well when I am on my way home from work and you see the guys out there scrubbing down the trucks in the hot, hot sun, as if time slows down and they get all soaped up in their… white… wet… T’s… AND then someone honks and I am snapped back to reality and realize their just average life saving fire people there to protect and serve… and I am happy to know they are there for me and my fellow neighbours in any event.
