If I'm not mistaken, you're from Western New York, am I right? If so, your dad must have been one busy sonofagun, because growing up watching Buffalo news (with Irv Weinstein) it looked like Buffalo, Tonawanda, Cheektowaga and the surrounding areas averaged about 4 fires per day. Buffalo news was all fires, all the time. My fifth grade friends and I would walk around in the school yard saying "did you see that four-alarm baby at the foundry in Lakawanda last night? That was a beaut!"
(Toronto TV watchers get the Buffalo network affiliates for NBC, CBS and ABC).
