"Fire Clown" sounds like an oxymoron to me, Or maybe the actions of an angery circus manager! :lol: :coolsmile:

It seems that the general populace was more easily amused in that era. At points while reading the article I thought of Jim Carey's "Fireman Bill" character.

He demonstrated fire safety by burning gasoline out behind the Shell station!

I'm not so sure they were "more easily amused" back then ---considering a large segment of today's population is amused by fine entertainments like "Vanilla Ice Goes Amish" and "Hillbilly Handfishing."

Am I the only person who thought of John Wayne Gacy, the homicidal clown?

Like an urban Smokey the Bear.

Harvey: no. No, you weren't.
If a guy with that make-up and that cap had come to my class to talk about fire prevention, I'd have been a pyromaniac now.
