I am feeling extremely fortunate. my daughter called me at work to say she smelled something burning at the house. when I got home, I called 9-1-1 and the carrboro fire department came out- with the truck and in full protective gear. they found the heater motor was jammed and was burning up. it could have caught the house on fire.I realized that these guyes put their lives at risk every time they answer a call. pretty impressive. we will get a new heater tomorrow. (we have half of the house heated with another heater.)
interestingly enough, I had been out to the carrboro fire department in the spring with my portrait photography class to practice taking portraits of the firemen. these are 2 of the firemen who came out today. I took the photos last spring. thanks guyes!!!
a few more firemen photos from the spring here:
