Come on.. didn't you want to be a fireman when you grew up too?
Well.. in Kyle, Texas you CAN become a volunteer fireman (or firewoman) as long as you live in the area... The Kyle Fire Department is, by and large, made up of volunteers. They've only got five full-time and ten part-time employees.

This photo is of the Fire Department's "Pierce Contender engine" that they got last year. It was taken back in May when my neighborhood (Plum Creek )had an event called "Front Porch Days." I was running around taking photos when I saw this mother taking a camera-phone photo of her son with the fireman.
