staff meeting

Fire Chief Dennis invited the crew into his room/fire station for what he deemed "a very important staff meeting". We assembled on his rug and he addressed some important fire business. He told us about the five schools that have requested a visit from the fire truck (one was the American Ballet School, and I haven't a clue why that was in his mind), and he talked about the long drive we'd have to take and the provisions he was packing ("carrots, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, pizza, Capri-sun"). In other important business, he was paid for keeping an orderly fire station (clean room) all week.
