(With a bow to Jeff Foxworthy.)
When the rain on your windshield is pink, you might be a fire survivor.
When you can be sure all of your neighbors have clean refrigerators, you might be a fire survivor.
When your marshmallows get roasted on the way home from the market, you might be a fire survivor.
If burnt umber is more than just a crayon color to you, you might be a fire survivor.
If every day is Ash Wednesday, you might be a fire survivor.
Best wishes to all, especially our firefighter heroes.
