Third time is a charm
Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 09:30 hours when my mother yelled for my father to pick up the phone. My father had off from work today to make a long weekend. Here it was Dauphin County on the phone for my father. Here a tractor trailer had flipped over on the Clarks Ferry bridge and had leaked about 150 gallons of diesel fule on the roadway. Sicne my father is the EMA for Reed Township, he got changed and rushed on down to the scene. I got changed and ate breakfast and watched a little tv. After I was done eating I started to read the paper. My mother went outside to put the car windows down. While she was outside the pager went off for a structure fire in Millersburg Borough. I got my boots on and got in my car and off I went for the station. I called Bill on the radio and told him that when he got at the station to start loading rehab supplies into 13-1. I had just turned into the station when they cancelled us. Apparently it was a false alarm and it was only smoke from a circuit breaker. Dohn showed up and we talked for a little bit while Bill started his tripsheet from last nights call. I then left and headed on home. Once home I sat down and had finished reading the front section of the paper when the pager went off again for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. Medic 6 got on the scene before us and told us that they would handle. So we went available and back to the station we went. I stayed a bit longer this time as I was afraid to go home incase the pager would go off again. I left there around 12:00 hours and headed on home. This time I got to finish reading the paper. After I was done with that I made lunch and got on the PS2. Around 15:50 hours the pager went off for a CVA in Jackson Township. I paused my game and got in my car and headed for Carol's hosue. I met Bill there and we got in 13-1 and off we went. We passed my father in Fisherville as he was coming back from the garage. We got on the scene and Medic 6 released the Pt. to BLS and we took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there we headed on home. We stopped at the "Barn" as my father was there. I fixed two tripsheets and then talked with Bill for a little bit. Carol then took her van home and Bill did his tripsheet while my father and I ran up to Dollar General to look for a card that my mother wanted. We did not find it there, so we then went up to Sheetz and got dinner for ourselves. We then went back to the shed and picked Bill up and headed for Dohn's house to pick up our cars. I followed my father home in my car and parked it and headed inside to eat dinner. 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.
