what common eye wear could substitute for safety goggles on some occasions?
where do you get off saying the public servants are overpaid? When was the last time you suited up and put your life on the line? So these people who dedicate themselves to running into a burning building or grabbing a robber, their lives have a price, a price that you think is too high? They make too much to see what a car going 60 mph can do to a small child? Too much to see what an angry drunk can do to his wife?You're argument is that they don't do enough? I fail to see your logic and reasoning. Typical troll. However, to help answer this question. many towns and cities delegated those duties to the Public Works Departments because they needed to justify there existence by having more to do in the public works system rather than just fixing roads (that are city maintained). There is a reason they are called FireFighters and not Hydrant painters. My hometown the firefighters still dig out the hydrants from snow fall, flush them in the summer, and paint the tops.
First of all it is not the clock that is going off, it is the alarm. The alarm is not coming on as the alarm has already been set but is just activating. To Go Off means to be discharged or activated; as in the explosive devices went off, the siren went off or the alarm went off. All in how you look at it. But a good question.
