I once saw a cartoon of 2 dogs talking to each other near a fire hydrant, with a burning house, firefighters, fire truck, hoses, and spraying water in the background. One dog was telling the other, "Kinda makes you proud to have contributed, doesn't it?"

I hope it's a collector and not an actively used truck. It would be a real shame if any community ran their fire department like that. Many fires happen in winter because that's when people heat their homes with fireplaces. In the winter especially, the trucks should be ready to go. I don't even see a shovel nearby to shovel the driveway. It will have a 15 minute delay just to get out of the driveway.

There are tons and tons of little cottages, summer homes, "camps" they call them up there, in some really remote areas. Some places (restaurants even) you can only get to by boat or snowmobile over frozen lake... that kinda stuff.

Here's a year round camp, only a few miles from town.

I think Bruce is right, the HOA owns it.... for summer use.

Don't lie to us, you know you love to make the bitch shiver.
