Today, my wife was complaining she always has to put up the Christmas tree. So this year while she was out shopping, I decided to put it up. I set it too close to the fireplace and it caught fire. I'm a firefighter. FML

It's a good thing you're not an English teacher, because it should be "*too close to the fireplace", not 'to'.

So, does that make you an Instigator for saying that OP is not a Prodigy of the firefighting class? I apologize; I cannot in good conscience let a good music reference go to waste.

it seems like firefights set more things on fire than they save. since my moms friend (a firefighter) was lighting a fire work over the rest of them and dropped it. now we have a hole in our granittop outside.

Smokey, the Bear, stomps out blazing tree. Drags it outside to the side walk. Hooty, the Owl, pecks Smokey's eyes out, screaming "I said don't pollute, you bastard". Smokey eats Hooty. The End.

Face it, you are a pyromaniac and you became a fireman to get to see the really great fires and play with your hose.

If there weren't benefits like these, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have firefighters.
