Fireworks From the Fire Hall
For many people, July and fireworks go together like peanut butter and jelly. So what better time to share the story of youthful fireworks gone very wrong. And the best part of this bonus summer episode? It is a story told by the son of a former town’s fire chief.
Do you have a story of something you thought was a good idea at the time, but which turned into something very different than you had planned? We would love to hear it!
