It’s a colorful expression for getting all the apparatus out
the door. It’s more and more difficult these
days of limited manpower, both volunteer and career.

What I like best about this picture, though, is the shoes. The
empty leather shows the tenuous nature of the work. It’s late evening, after ten. One minute, everything is calm. There is laughter someplace—inevitably in a
fire house. The television is on with a
small audience. Others have turned in
for the night. The bays are filled with
the engine, ladder truck, and heavy rescue squad. A minute later, all that remains is…..the
shoes.
