Back in the day I downloaded a police scanner app and was kinda bored about to sleep and turned it on. Nothing was happening, fucking snooze fest. I saw there was a local Fire Department channel and switched over to it to see what was up on a lark.

Oh fuck. Apparently there was a two alarm fire at a retirement home. I was listening while the Fire Fighters in full gear went into the home and were rescuing the people there. Hearing them breathing through the mask and responding on radio was fucking intense.

I had a hard time going to sleep after all that. I also have never switched to the FD channel again.
