San Antonio Fire Chief: Master of Disaster...or Debate?
Let's face it, firefighters are pretty darn cool. They rush into burning buildings, save kittens from trees (or is that just TV?), and generally exude an aura of heroism. So, when news hit the fan about San Antonio's Fire Chief, Charles Hood, let's just say eyebrows were raised faster than an alarm in a five-alarm fire.

| What Did San Antonio Fire Chief Say |
The Quote That Sparked the Inferno
Now, Chief Hood wasn't caught napping on the job (though with all that firefighting, a power nap is tempting). No, sir, this was a verbal firestorm. The Chief allegedly uttered a phrase that would make even a fire engine blush. We're talking about a phrase so vulgar, so utterly inappropriate, that it could put out a blaze with sheer shock value alone.
What was this mystery phrase, you ask? Well, we can't exactly print it here, folks. Let's just say it rhymed with "bussy always wins" and wasn't exactly a testament to gender equality.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
The Great Retirement Escape
Now, you might think a fire chief can handle a little heat. But apparently, not the heat that comes with a public relations nightmare. Following the controversy, Chief Hood did a Houdini and...retired! That's right, folks, he swapped his fire hose for a comfy recliner.
So, was he fired or did he just peace out? The official line is retirement, but let's be honest, it seems more like a tactical retreat than a victory lap.
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
The Moral of the Story?
Even fire chiefs need to mind their language. Especially if they don't want to become the next internet meme (cue awkward photoshopped images of firemen with speech bubbles...).
