While doing truck check one morning when I was in the fire department I had my usual morning cup of coffee with me. The tones went off, I put it down on the rear step of the engine to write the address down. Never gave it a thought, jumped in the truck, drove several blocks to a working structure fire. When I went around back of the truck to pull one section of supply line to tag a very close hydrant, there sat my cup of coffee, still had a lot of coffee in it. Somewhere around here, I still have that cup.
I was standing there by the pump panel sipping on it when the Captain came out for an air bottle change. All he said was "what the hell, how did you pull that off?". Later I told him about it, he couldn't believe it either.
Strange things indeed!!!
