Open House

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 08:00 hours when my father woke me up. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the sports section of the paper and got some things together and put them in 13-2 and headed into the "Barn". We got there and Viv and Gary were there. My father quickly moved his truck out of the bay and I went back and went to work coping the mounting directions for the house number signs. Bill then showed up and he helped my father loaded the stuff into the unit. We then got in and headed on out to station 29. We stopped at McDonald's and me and my father ran inside and got something to eat for breakfast. We then headed on out to station 29. We got there and they backed us into one of the bays and we started sitting things up. Duncannon was already there with there ladder truck and PSP and the town cop were already there also as well as the blood mobile. Then as we were setting up, the forestry department showed up, followed by Colonial Park, then Rescue of Susquehanna Township, followed by King's Fitness from out by Kiner's. Millersburg had dropped off their smoke house for Halifax to use. Then Smokey the Bear showed up, followed by the Halifax Communities That Care, then Medic 6, and our other unit with Dohn and Sue on, and then the local boy scout troop. After Dohn and Sue showed up, Scott came. We all stood around talking for a little bit and then me and Dohn went out back to watch the vehicle rescue demonstration. After that was over we went back inside and boy had the crowd ever grow. It was packed. We gave away 59 out of 60 bags today. 29 also gave out stuff, along with Colonial Park, the forestry department, and PSP and the town cop were doing indentification kits. Duncannon was giving ladder truck rides and then Halifax was giving fire engine rides for the kids. We had no calls while we were there. We left there around 14:10 hours and headed back to the shed. We then unloaded everything and we talked for a little back in the office, and then all four of us left. Once we got home, I sat down and read the rest of the paper and then watched the Penn State game on tv with my mother and father. I ate dinner while I watched the game. Just as the fourth quarter had started, the pager went off for a fall person in Halifax Borough. My father got his boots on and I got my radio and went out to the unit and started it up and put us responding. We got there and loaded the kid and the mother up and took them down to Harrisburg Hospital. We ended putting them in Triage. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. We stopped at the shed and went inside. I logged our times in and pulled my times up. I had just started on the paperwork from this call, when the pager went off for a sick person in Halifax Township. I logged out of Quick trip and we both got in the unit and off we went. We got that lady loaded up and took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We stopped at the shed and logged our times in and pulled my times up. I then put them in my folder and we headed on home. I just finished eating my snack and am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
