TULSA FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED JUST IN TIME FOR CAKE AT MABEL MCCULLOUGH'S 95th BIRTHDAY PARTY. ALTHOUGH THEY COULDN'T STAY TO EAT SOME CARROT CAKE, THEY HAD TIME TO TAKE A PICTURE WITH THE BIRTHDAY GIRL.
AFTER ALL 95 CANDLES HAD BEEN LIT, THE CAKE LOOKED JUST LIKE A TORCH, SAID ONE OF THE GUESTS. MABEL BLEW OUT THE CANDLES AND THE SMOKE ALARM WAS SET OFF, CAUSING 24 FIREFIGHTERS TO ARRIVE AT THE SCENE, FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH. IN ADDITION TO THE FIREFIGHTERS, 5 ENGINES AND TWO LADDER COMPANIES JOINED THE FESTIVITIES. FIRE CHIEF LONNIE LAMB STATED, "IN MY 23 YEARS ON THE JOB, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF THINGS SET OFF A FIRE ALARM, BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HEARD OF ONE GOING OFF BECAUSE OF A BIRTHDAY CAKE." IT WAS ONE BIRTHDAY MABEL, THE GUESTS, AND THE FIREFIGHTERS WILL NOT SOON FORGET.

Good, except I'd paraphrase the fire chief's quote.
