Odd event taking place outside involving fire dept (vanity)
Aug 31, 2016 | moi

Posted on 08/31/2016 12:07:45 AM PDT by Ken H

There's been a single fire truck parked on the street between my house and the one across the street for about 30 minutes. (It did not come lights and siren, btw) They've been shining lights in the bushes and trees in my neighbor's yard across the street, but not in mine. I also saw several fire fighters fanned out, walking slowly on the street and scanning it with their flashlights.

No police or ambulance have shown up, just the single truck. As I post this, the truck is still there, but I don't see any activity now. It's a mystery.

Is that you Mrs. Kravitz?

If you cannot muster the brain power to ask them, just barricade yourself and hope for the best.

Jose’s Already Flinging Oranges?

What do oranges have to do with firetrucks? And who is Jose?

It was clearly a non-emergency situation and it only involved my neighbor. Had they shone lights in my yard or others' yards, I would have asked.

I was just posting an odd event that I thought was intersting. I'll find out soon enough.

Possibly they are staging, or providing backup coverage to another fire department by physically moving to another location while the other department is on an actual call. That or the fire truck was a clever ploy used by the NSA to steal all your data.

Maybe one of the firemen lost something, and they are looking for it.

Here's a shot. Maybe someone's pet got snatched up by an owl or some other bird of prey.

They could have been looking for a blood trail on the street. In addition to the street, they were searching a just small area (maybe 60' x 60') in the front of his property, both high up in the trees and on the ground.

Did the neighbor put down fresh mulch recently. Mulch can smolder and ignite for the flimsiest of reasons. Not enough water. Bad mood. Mulch: it just don’t care.

Throw in some donuts and you’ll probably get the cops to show up too!

Fire departments are responsible for collecting ETs.

Well, if you like sizzling hot, well-proportioned blonds dressed in skimpy fire gear, I suppose a case could be made for that.
