Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

You know that fire station right on Boylston St. next to all the bars? If you’ve ever gone by on a Friday or Saturday night (or any night during the week, actually), you probably notice the firemen all sit by the entrance and just stare at everyone walking by. Not a bad job if the night is fire free. However, it can sometimes get extremely creepy to feel the firemen looking you up and down every time you walk by.

Last night my friend and I walked by at about 11 p.m. and the place was overrun with drunk girls. Some were climbing on the fire trucks and one was even trying to put on a fireman’s uniform, boots and all. They were dressed in next to nothing to say the least, and you could tell the firemen were loving it. But I found it kind of disturbing. What if there was a fire? They’d basically have to throw the girls off the trucks, get them out of the uniforms, etc. before they could leave the station. And you could tell the girls were drunkk and would probably try to come along to fight the fire.

I’m all for having fun at work, but this just seemed ridiculous. I feel like firemen should be A LOT more responsible than to let drunk girls into the station and touching all the equipment. No doubt firemen fight to work at this station since it is clearly in the most exciting area; but it’s one thing to stare at girls walking by, another to let them in the station. Well, as long as there were no fires, I guess. Oh Boston, always something exciting going on.

That said, I do really respect firemen and give them a lot of credit for the amazing jobs they do.
