I think the lowest it got while I was there was about 47. My dad'* assistant chief, and he'* 50 now, the chief is in his 60s and has grandkids. Most firefighters there are in their 40s and 50s. We have had a few that've been 16 and 17 with parental consent. Illinois now lets people under 18 fight fires. I guess they figure that if they can set 'em, they can fight 'em...

Wake, I was born a character, the doctor didnt get a chance to slap my bottom....... the nurse did it for him when I grabbed her *** on the way out.
Ya Bonnie same here. but as firepolice I get to boss em all around and sip Coffee and look important.
I could put a siren and light bar on car exept I choose to keep my vehichles registered in NY where I am also a resident. But my hat and badge get me free beer at all the neighboring counties functions as well as our own..... And thats a GOOD THING!!!

That'* a darned cool hat! 
I've gotten free ice cream because of one of my FD T-shirts! 
Doubling the population with outsiders. They throw candy at parades, remember? Also, there will be big shiney things in the sky that will go boom. Actually, I will honestly be surprised if we don't MORE THAN double the population (the pop is only 1000).
