What the pager said.

Every call, in general terms: the kind of incident, the road, which rigs went, how many of your neighbors dropped what they were doing. No names, no house numbers, no medical details.

A leaf-strewn path into a bare, misty wood at dusk.
A structure fire at night. Most of ours are smaller than this, and we would like to keep it that way.

    Chimney fire

    Ridge Road, upper end

    First fire of the woodstove season. Fire contained to the flue; the family was out before we arrived because the smoke alarm went off. Have your chimney swept before you light the first fire.
