I grew up in a firefighter family. Not as complete as that one though. It was a volunteer fire department, and my Grandfather was the fire chief. My Uncle and a couple of cousins were also firemen in the district. I never was, but I never really lived there as an adult. That said, pictures of us all standing together kinda look like the Little family. A friend of mine once saw a picture of us all and said, “Damn! Your family is all carved from oak stumps!” He’s not wrong.
