Did you dial 311 or 911?
Apparently if you call the fire depart- ment, the FIRE DEPART- MENT shows up. Three trucks' worth, and me sitting with my laptop writing a lecture and watching Law & Order and suddenly a bunch of those sexy beasts in full get-up with the axes and the picks and the oxygen tanks standing around taking carbon monoxide readings, because the boy called to complain about the barbecue smell coming from the restaurant downstairs.
I managed to snap a little photo just as they were leaving...

"Hello, 911? Send someone quick! I can smell deliciousness!"
Ha!
Hey, um, did you experience this:

?
I thought, if anyone would notice, a Canadian....
Love those sexy beasts. Glad to know it was a social call and you weren't actually on fire. Who the hell gets offended by BBQing??? Get a life and quit eating at the deli dude. Throw something on a flame, it'll make a man out of you.
If you house smelled very strongly like cheap hickory smoke 24/7, and as a result your clothes and sheets and things smelled like it too, you might get annoyed after a couple of months.
