Dave,
So few politicians have a chance to be an authentic local hero, let

"Berlin mayor New Year fire alert saves neighbours
Tue Jan 2, 2007 2:50 PM GMT
BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit was the hero of his
apartment building on New Year's Eve when he warned neighbours the
roof was on fire -- and consoled them with champagne in a local
restaurant."
...
"We were sitting there eating our chocolate fondue when he rang the
bell and shouted 'The building is on fire!'" neighbour Gerd Luetjen
told Bild newspaper. "I tried to warn other neighbours but Wowereit
had already been everywhere."
