It has to be said that researching this topic is tempting fate, but just
as flames can be mesmerising, so we Will and Guy find funny fire safety
pictures hypnotic.
How is it that one careless match can start a forest
fire, but it takes a whole box to start your barbecue?
A fireman had two sons. What did he name them?
Hosea and Hoseb
Bryan calls the fire department and says, 'Yes, I
have just had my front yard landscaped, I have a nice new flower bed, a
new fish pond with a fountain and a new rose garden.'
'Very nice
too,' Martin, the fire-fighter says, 'but what does that have to do with
the fire service?'
'Well, it's like this,' Bryan answers, 'the
house next door is on fire and I don't want you to trample my front
yard.'
When the employees of a restaurant attended a
fire safety seminar, they watched a fire official demonstrate the proper
way to operate an extinguisher.
'Pull the pin like a hand
grenade,' he explained, 'then depress the trigger to release the foam.'
Later an employee was selected to extinguish a controlled fire
in the parking lot. In her nervousness, she forgot to pull the pin. The
instructor hinted, 'Like a hand grenade, remember?'
In a burst
of confidence she pulled the pin, and hurled the extinguisher at the
blaze.
Fire investigators on Maui, Hawaii, USA,
have determined the cause of a blaze that destroyed a $127,000 home last
month: a short circuit in the homeowner's newly installed fire
prevention alarm system.
'This is even worse than last
year,' said the distraught homeowner, 'when someone broke in and stole
my new security system.'
Sitting through fire safety and prevention programs can make anyone nod

room asking where all the guests were from.
'Burnt Mattress, Arkansas,' called out the friend sitting next to me.
'Burnt Mattress?' said the instructor, suppressing a laugh. 'I've heard
some unusual town names before, but never that one. Where's it located?'
My friend shot back, 'Right above Hot Springs.'
Over lunch Martha said she hadn't the heart to tell the group that she
