 It is true: all firemen are gorgeous.

This was taken at my nephew's commencement from the fire academy where he trained for 17 weeks. The ceremony included several drills for ladders, hazmat, turnout, jaws of life, rappelling, and this fire drill. He was not in this one, however, which took place in the 4-story training tower.

[POST CHALLENGE]

As far as I know, no, he did not have dreams of being a fireman until he was in his teens.

Great scene. It has a pathos about it that I really like, though it probably was meant to be serious. Love that fire window scene.

The Fireman leaning out the window piques your interest. The captured flame in the other window grabs you. Cool shot.
