It's always nice to see someone take shortcuts on safety when gearing up for a church production.

Some people used tar paper as a back of a tomb. They had a 1000 watt bulb inside the tomb that somehow ended up too close to the tar paper and ended up igniting during the program.

Being a person of action, I ran up in nearly pitch black and began fighting the fire. I couldn't even tell what was burning in the dark but I tried to beat it out. Someone else pulled down the tar paper and spread the fire, but I took the paper and beat out the flames befort anyone could get there with an extinguisher.

The paper melted to my hands and gave me quite a few blisters and a lot of redness. I never made it back into the service, but I hear that I'm quite a hero. My shirt and slacks got ruined and a person gave me $120 to buy some new clothes.

I hope that someday people, around here, will learn that my concern over safety issues aren't totally just about being an a-hole.

If I had burning tar paper all over my hands, I don't think I'd be posting a whole lot right now. And if you're typing with your weenis, I'm sorry I read this. ;)

Seriously, glad you're mostly ok, dude.

When I shave my head each week, I'm always sad that Brad Pitt doesn't slap my head once I finish.

And by "head", I mean "firm buttocks". He's dreamy.

Leave the fire fighting to us professionals.

I don't come by your window at McDonalds and start passing out fries, do I?

Oh, and the first rule of fire fighting is you don't talk about fire fighting.

If I would have waited for one of you to wake up from your nap, slide down your pole, and get your suit on, Easter would have been ruined.

But your fingers would be saved (if this were a real scenerio).

Plus, a nap is an essential part of being a fire fighter.

Tomorrow I'll take a photo of the damage.

To be honest, it happened inside the tomb, and most of the people were oblivious except for the smell. My hands aren't bad. It looked worse when they were covered in black tar.

Yes, but it's not normally on a skills qualifications test.

1) Successfully slide down a pole in under four seconds.
2) Put on fire suit without permanent injury.
3) Get on big red truck without making the siren sound.
4) Take a prolonged nap without waking up to distracting noise of TVs blaring all around you.

BTW, I ALWAYS fail number three. That's half the fun of being a fire fighter.

But you guys lost cool points in my book when you stopped riding the fire truck while hanging on and standing up on the back bumper.

no........there was not an extinguisher in Jesus' tomb.:rolleyes:

3 extinguishers showed up after I had already dealt with the situation. Very few people could even tell what happened much less react to it.

UPDATE:

Turns out there was a box of areosol paint cans just about 18 inches away from the fire I put out. I'm glad they didn't start exploding while I was beating the fire out.

My neighbor was smokin a brisket in the backyard when I noticed his Big Yellow Lab had knocked it over and was pawin at the tinfoil. As I approached him he growwwled. I took my pitchfork to him an notified the napping neighbor. I then become known as the Sooner that saved Easter dinner:)
