Rae's list of the top five things people say when they find out you're a firefighter in training

1. Now arson, my dear. Quite an ambitious crime. Yes, yes. We always knew you had it in you, of course, didn't we, Deborah?

2. I'm so jealous, girl. I bet all your colleagues are like all those hot firemen dudes on calendars and stuff, eh? Can you introduce me? Of course I don't have a one-track mind, don't be ridiculous.

3. Oh, you're a firefighter? So you, like, light your chimney at home, yeah?

4. Rae, but you're claustrophobic. What if you had to, I dunno, rescue someone who's trapped in a small space? You wouldn't be able to do it, would you? What? It's true, isn't it? Don't look at me like that.

5. But you're so skinny. And you're a girl. And you're basically scared of everything. It doesn't make any sense.
