- Firefighters are known for their courage and tolerance. They pretty much have to have both if they’re going to risk their lives to keep others safe — and live so closely with co-workers while doing it. They also tend to be fairly level-headed.

All of which makes the occurrences at Lawrence Fire Station No. 1, 746 Kentucky St., even more unusual.
