Has a firefighter, we are required to wear many hats as part of the job. Firefighter, EMT, a public educator, a car seat installer, just to name a few. Occasionally, earn get to earn a different hat to hang on our peg. For a few guys of Local 168, they can add elephant washer to their hats.  A circus was in town and they were in need of the local fire department to help was the elephants. Paducah Fire Department was there to answer the call.  Here are a few photos of Platoon 2's Cpt. Mike Leneave, Lt. Gil Arterburn, and Pvt. Matt Graves getting up close and personal with one of the elephants.
