With all houses now fitted with smoke alarms , and chips pans a thing of the past, home fires are so rare they actually make the news. The modern fire brigade attend road traffic accidents and get people out of lifts , any few and far between fires that are attended result in a risk assessment , followed by the fire brigade joining the crowds to watch the building burn down. They then strike on the only day of the year we might actually need them (Nov 5) , the public have wised up to these layabouts, fucking hero's , fucking cunts more like.
