Fire truck lights are red…..🔴

Police vehicle lights are blue…..🔵

Jefferson Fire Dept’s post doesn’t even rhyme…..👎

& if they think they run anything in our county or city they’ve all lost their minds over there too 😎

Honestly though, Happy Valentine’s (made up fake holiday) Day to all of you! Please don’t forget to give your significant other some sort of gift so we don’t have to respond to a bunch of domestic disputes later this evening. 🤞

Stay safe out there y’all!
