"Valier fire, respond to ........." The shrill of my husband's Fire Walkie Talkie is not a sound I enjoy. The first sound sounds like something only dogs should be able to hear. Next comes the words. Sometimes nothing is wrong and it is just a false alarm but most of the time it is not. When it's not I fear who it could be. There have been fires but so many more wrecks. You may not know much about how a 911 call works. I sure didn't before I met my husband. Everyone is called out. Not just the people that are needed but more. Ambulances, fire trucks, police officers, sometimes abbots towing are all called out at the same time. It could be to a fire or wreck, or a lift assist. Since we live in the small county of Franklin we do not have as many things going on. Lately there have been 10+ wrecks on I57 in the last 3 months. Some people say it is haunted. What do you think I am going to say? People need to learn how to drive, that's what I would say.

We always talk about how much drunk drivers need to get off of the road. Have you ever thought about you? Have you ever driven like a crazy person? I hate to say it but I have. There are so many wrecks out there caused by so much more than drunk drivers. For instance, deer, cats, dogs, semis, brakes, trees, power lines, road workers, pedestrians, and much much more. My point is watch your sourandings. Look for things you never would before. Be careful and be aware.
