I was walking past my local fire station recently which always looks a bit mysterious because of the darkened windows and there never being any visible activity inside. So it got me thinking, what are the people inside doing when they’re not heading out to fight fires?


In rare occurrences a firefighter will start a fire to then be called to fight that fire. A lot of firefighters are pyromamiacs, but a very small percentage are just psycho enough to act on their intrusive thoughts.
I wouldn’t say “a lot of firefighters a pyromaniacs” but they do exist and they do light fires just so they can be the hero.
