This week, a gal from Cody rolled her Ford Explorer over a guardrail after sliding in slush. It was a bad wreck.
Fortunately, the driver was released from the hospital the same day.
Her car was wheels-up - like a turtle with a smashed shell kicking the sky. Rather than employing jacks or winch trucks to right the very-wronged rig, the boys simply flipped it over by hand.
The firefighters are an awesome bunch, responding to scenes of devastation and often saving the day.
I would encourage joining the fire department, but make sure you have a strong stomach and are cool under pressure. It is no job for namby-pambies. Often, their job is downright grim - not to mention stressful - at highway accidents.
If fighting fires or lending a hand at grisly car wrecks is not your cup of tea, try volunteering with civic groups or other meaningful community organizations.
Volunteering can be a pain in the posterior. It is often time-consuming and you don’t get paid a darned thing. The unparalleled bonus, however, is the warm feeling of serving your community and making it a better place to live for all.
