Local organization SRSLY held a party at the Chelsea fire station.  The biggest draw of the party was, of course, the promise of taking apart a car with the Jaws of Life.  (These aren’t affiliated with the other famous Jaws, though their effects on objects are remarkably similar.)

The evening started with a presentation by the captain.  As the party was aimed at kids who are either just starting to drive or will soon be starting to drive, the presentation featured photos of serious car accidents to which the Chelsea firefighters had responded, along with necessarily stern words about not being a moron behind the wheel.  (The captain phrased it much more diplomatically, but as one with a…checkered driving history, I feel strongly about not being a moron behind the wheel.)

After the presentation (and some pizza), everybody headed outside to start cutting up the car.  (Don’t worry: it wasn’t your car.  It was already wrecked.  And no, wise guy, it wasn’t my car, either.)

Hey!  She’s trying to Jaws of Life my logo!
