About
Firefighters "Do Not Disturb" refers to a series for four-pane exploitables in which a pair of firefighters approach a burning room but decide not to enter based on what's written on the "do not disturb" sign hanging from the door handle. Online, people have photoshopped replacements words, phrases and symbols to express disapproval towards those things.
