Fire

Thinking of the word fire alone makes you feel so hot. Fire is closely associated with heat; light therefore heat and light energy. Fires can be dangerous if it is not controlled. I remember learning a tongue twister when I was in foundation phase “Fire Fighters Fight Fire” and at Kainos Covenant community (Church) in the main headquarters (Laughing) based in Phoenix (south Africa, Africa, Kwa-Zulu Natal) we hosted a movie night with snacks, popcorn and cool drinks and show cased the movie FIREPROOF. A great must watch and story which will inspire you. Yes it is better than Vampire Diaries and Twilight because you learn morals, values and also positive attitudes from it. I know you won’t go around biting peoples necks (rolling on the floor and laughing).

Lets get serious now. Fires are no Joke. (Serious face)

I also remember going to a fire station for a primary School (Tyburn) excursions on two different occasions. The foam show fire fighters do for us is the only reason learners go to the fire station on an excursion, do not laugh at these kids who fail to realise  bubble bath is more fun even though it is in a smaller scale. Dennis the Menace had a sugar candy coated incident when Dennis desired to wash his grandfather’s car and runs out of liquid soap. Dennis does not read a label on the liquid candy looking very similar to a container of liquid soap found on a top shelf written “Candy floss”. What happens next is what the Witch in Hansel and Gretel should of tried, a yard full of candy floss. Someone called the FIRE BRIGADE in Dennis the Menace to come to their rescue.

When fireman hears the siren they leave whatever they are doing because the siren is a warning of an unwanted fire in an area. Unwanted because this is not burning dirt, gas stove, light the candle, braai stand kind of fire. This is serious; lives could be in danger, animals too, possessions lost, a suicide, explosions. They do a mini ‘Tarzan and Jane or George and Ursula or for those Mowgli lovers out there a Mowgli swing on the rope move but here is pole in place of a rope. For those individuals who are still trying to make sense of these names I just mentioned. You guys need to watch some television now and then; it will not make you a couch potato in any way.

Enough Puzzling, moving on. (My Teacher line, the moving on)

Adrenalin rush- fire fighters hear the siren in their ear drums. Leaving what they are currently doing. Down the poll, put on their fire fighting fireproof gear to save lives and might risk theirs.  Getting on to the scene they strategize and use a very long hose pipe, long enough to reach tallest buildings. The hose pipe is for water to put down fires. Fire fighters go around houses, inside houses looking for animals and people. Fire fighters comfort and check on victims of fire (Previous Post on Secret Agents) .Fire fighters climb a ladder (Note a previous blog post on Stairs and ladders) to get to those in high buildings. The ladder is not too short to reach them like God’s hands are not too short to reach you in the other end of the Solar system.

8 then the Earth shook and trembled. The foundations of Heavens quaked and where shaken, because HE was angry.

9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. FIRE out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.

The Glory (Note previous post on vibrations of Glory cocooning) of God is made in a simile to be compared with Fire. Exodus 24 V 16 says the appearance of the Glory of Yahweh was like devouring Fire on the top of the mountain (Previous Post on mountains and Valleys) in the eyes of the children of Israel.
