I'm not sure this man could pull me out of a burning building, but god bless him if he tries.
To further explain... at about 8am on a Saturday, we awoke to the sound of horrible bugling. I thought it was just for a game in the school playground, but it continued on and off for another hour... and then another hour! So finally we decided to get up and check out what was going on. We walked over and saw a bunch of firetrucks parked in the playground and a ton of volunteer firemen in uniform (who looked really tired of standing for 3 hours!). Apparently it's an annual event. After 3 hours of bugles and announcements, there was a parade.
It was a pretty big deal with a local TV crew, the mayor, and several of my principals and students in attendance. Some of the students were also in the parade, holding banners and shouting out fire safety tips.
The firetrucks and firemen also marched down in the parade, some of the trucks narrowly making it down the tiny roads. At the end of the parade, the trucks parked by the ocean and sprayed their hoses into the air. Just goes to show you never know what you're going to wake up to here!
