County, Utility 216, Responding.

Went to bed last night around 01:00 hours as I was tired. I got up this moring around 10:30 hours and went out and ate breakfast, read the paper and wacthed a little tv. Around 11:30 hours, my father gave me his birhtday present that he got for me. I opened it and it was another racing game for the PS2. I popped it into the PS2 right away and played it while my father watched. After a little while he decided to race against me, which we did. While we were racing, Bill called. He told me that he had just got my message that I had left on his cell phone last night. He told me that he had called Dohn and Dohn told him that it was ok. So I finished up the race, and got dressed and put a few things in my car, including my new leather fire gloves that I placed in my "Halifax Rescue" coat. My father gave me the 4 flip books to put in both uints. I headed into town and up to Giant where I picked up 5 cases of Pepsi One for $10.00. After that I headed back to the "Barn" and did my paperwork for the structure fire early yesterday morning. Finished up there and started on my way home. As I was coming up on Dohn and Carol's house, the pager went off for an electrical fire in Halifax Township. Since I was not on duty for the ambulance today, and I was not far from the station, I headed for the fire station. I pulled into the station and threw my sunglasses off and they landed in the car some where. I turned the car off (very important) and popped my trunk and grabbed my coat and helmet and headed into the station. I jumped in the back seat of the engine as Bubba was pulling it out of the station. He told me that he was not going along, because he was heading to work. After the engine was pulled out I ran back to my car and grabbed my cell phone and shoved it in my pocket. I then went back to the engine and started to get in. As I was getting in Bubba called my name and told me to come in the station for a minute. So thinking that I was being bumped off of the engine, I grabbed my helmet and my jacket was hall on me and I proceeded into the station. Bubba told me that I was going to be taking the Utility. I said what? And he said your going to take the Utility. I said ok, and he started it up and I hoped in. He went around to the passengers side and leaned in and said that he would call me in and I would only have to go arriving and returning. As he was talking to me, his wife said that my dad was on the way to go. Bubba said ok and told me that I would be taking my father with me in the Utility. My dad finally showed up and came to the passenegrs side and sat his helmet on the seat and looked at me and said "What are you doing?" I said Bubba told me to take the Utility. To which he said, "Do you want me to drive?" To which I said, Bubba told me to take the Utility, get in. He got in and off we went, he worked the siren, while I drove. We got about as far as Kiner's when they help it to company 29 and truck 20, placing the rest of us in service. We turned around at Kiner's and headed back to the station and I backed the Utility in and shut her down. Boy what a rush that was, and a surprise. I was totally shocked when Bubba told me that I would be driving the Utility. Next time I see him, I am going to thank him for allowing me to drive. The engine came back and we talked for a little bit and then me and my dad headed home. Got home and unloaded the soda and then told my mother that I got to drive the Utility. Since I was on a high, I also called Bill and told him what I got to do. After I got off with him I got back on the PS2 and played my other nrew game I got for my birthday. Ate dinner and just finished writing thank you notes. Getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. Will be on late tonight so give a buzz if you want to talk.
