Years ago I was working on a 2-way radio install on an old firetruck, at a rural volunteer firestation. Asked the cheif what the chances of having a fire were, while I had the truck down. He indicated not very high, as grass was not dry, and was not heating season. Hardly got the words out of his mouth, when the fire phone went off.
