The rescue was the first 15 seconds of a job that lasted two hours. The fire went to two alarms.

It occurred to us as operations were winding down in that fire that it was the second time. We looked at each other and it sunk in ? wow!

These things happen every day across the city, firefighters doing their job. But I guess because it was two times in such a short period, we got attention.

Ready, Fire, Aim.

We didn't fire in our first game out against South Africa last autumn, and it was the same story against England in the first game of the 2005 Six Nations,

It's the worst possible fire conditions ? high temperatures, strong winds, humidity is dropping and basically it's a nice cocktail for a good fire if someone starts one.
