In my dream, the building I was in caught fire. For a while, everyone there just sat and did nothing. Later, we decided we'd better try and put it out, which we successfully did (I believe with glasses of water from the tap and hoses from the outside).About the time we got the fire out, the fire department arrived. I complained to the woman who was their leader about how slow their response had been. She seemed to take offense at this, and either explained, or I just somehow know, that they'd only had one or two people on duty, and had had to gather the rest from their homes before they could come. I wondered whether this was because the rest were fighting another fire, or because they just didn't keep enough people around at the station.
