Time span for Police and Fire Fighters responses take anywhere between one hour to mostly two hours, I'm told, for them to arrive, because they have had to lay off so many of their members, and the crime is rampant and the fires is an everyday thing, so it's hard for them to keep up.

Whenever the 'what do you want to be when you grow up' conversation comes up, the job always fluctuates....veterinarian...fire fighter...actress...but her tagline always is "and I'm going to own rental property".  

:)When fire fighters burn houses, they wait for 10-15 minutes after it starts burning and then put the fire down.

Every single piece of silicon on this planet is tested prior to it ending up in a F22 fighter, your car, Ipad or printer, and what I have seen in the past tech down turn was a distinct decline in orders prior to the over all market going down. 

I am a full time fire fighter and have a 10 month old daughter on top of all this.

This is not  fake this is real.Have you ever seen in nature some tiny bird chasing a bigger bird of prey kicking its A$$ as the bigger bird tries to get away as the small little runt dives in left to right right to left picking at its head like a jet fighter?

I am a Memphis fire fighter and I have worked this neighborhood for more then 5 years It is not an area i would buy a property.

I have to say though, I would rather go a few rounds with a cage fighter than do drywall.

I am a Fire Fighter by trade, so I have really enjoyed hearing stories, podcasts and the sort from @David Greene.
