A Couple Firemen in the House

Reuben and Thomas, the newest members of the local volunteer fire department :)  Tom has already taken the training for fighting wildfires and Reuben will take it beginning next week.  Also fun stuff, Thomas has signed up to fight wild fires out west this spring/summer!  Both the boys will be taking First Responder training soon.  Don't they look good in the firefighter gear? 
How did these two grow up so fast?
