Today at work we received a visit from the fire department and two of their trucks. I got to spray a hose while the firewoman stood behind me to make sure I wouldn't tip over (hehe).
We also went onto the ladder, the kind with wich they get people from burning buildings. We went up to roughly 25 metres (of the 35 possible) and then my fear of heights kicked in and I asked them to stop.
And now I feel annoyed because, damn, 35 metres, I could have done that! So, next time, all the way up.

Oh my! I still remember our visit to the fire department. Which was in groep zeven - fifteen years ago! All the kids in the city with no wrong answers on their traffic exam got to go and my teacher looked so cool as he was holding the hose :)
