Good grief! When I was in Fire Dept, we got called out for fires, water (and other) rescues, vehicle fires and accidents, etc, but never for a shed blown over. That's a new one on me.

I would have been at the end of that long list of applicants. Other opportunities came up, so went another route.
Also, fire fighting didn't used to pay NEARLY as well as it does now!!
