Fire in Tuftonboro

I believe the 30ft rule is still standard but, like I've written before, firefighting up here is completely different tactic wise than in metro Boston. Most firefighters in the big cities look down on volunteers and call guys. Now that I am a country boy I have a bit of respect for them. I still think anybody that would do the job for free is insane. I have 3 sons that will soon be following in my firefighting footsteps.
It's not the same job that it used to be...not in the least. The good old days are long gone.
