One Couple Of Days OBD

One couple of days, calm storms came by and fires quenched rain neath the blue sky. Black smoke whirled down to join the clouds, and scenes were filled with empty crowds. The arsonist called the town PD, but what showed up was the FD. They saw some chimneys sucking smoke. The fire chief cried, “Is this a joke?”
