I dislike Hallowe'en. I do not participate, and that's that. Another commercial venture with stupid plastic faces of Freddy Kruger and some damned ghost face from some stoopid movie. It has become an evening on which we will get three or four fire calls to extinguish campfires that idiots have left burning, or dumpster fires that idiots have lit on purpose. Bloody waste of time. Last year, while responding to a dumpster fire, we received a second page for a structure fire (house). Took an extra few minutes to turn vehicles around and get trucks and manpower rerouted and reassigned. The house fire was a tough one, and further delay could have resulted in a second building getting engulfed.

No, I don't at all care for hollowe'en.
