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

Yeah, you're a firefighter NOW, before that, you were just passive-aggressive.

If it is a real tree, even worse cause the heat from the fireplace will dry out the tree and it will burn faster and hotter than a fake one.

did your unit come to put it out? or do you liv out of the area. if you live out, non of those guys have to know you are a firefighter. at least I would keep quiet about it.
