County Utility 216 Responding

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning around 11:30 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into a running suit. I then read the paper and after that I made lunch and sat down to watch some tv. Around 13:30 hours the fire pager went off for Box 216-1 for a field fire. I jumped off of the love seat and ran back to my room and started changing clothes. As I put a t-shirt one, the ambulance pager went off for the field fire. Once I was dressed I ran out to my car and started it up. My father then got in after having goen downstairs and getting his gear on and off we went. We got up there and I parked the car and popped the truck and got out. My father got out and ran into the hose house and jumped on the engine and they took off. I then went around to my trunk and pulled my bunker pants out, pulled my shoes off and threw them in the trunk and put my pants on, then grabbed my jacket and helmet and she the trunk. I then went over and into the station. I went over and unplugged the utility and got in it. Then Dave got in the passanger seat, and I turned the master switch on and turned the key and waited until the little wait light went out and tried to start the engine. I did this like 7 times before it finally started. I then put us enroute and off we went. I pulled out of the station with the lights on and turned the siren on and left it on the whole way out to the scene. We got to the scene and I went up the lane and gave it some gas and went up a slight hill and parked the utility and put the emergency brake on. I then put my helmet on and got out. The engine was already there, along with Thomas (Chief 29-1). The engine had the trash line and a pre-connect off and both were running. I went down to the lower end of the field to where my father was and he gave me the nozzle on the pre-connect line and I stood there and held it. Brush 29 was the next piece to arrive on the scene, followed by Robbie (Chief 216-1), Tanker 216, I believe 13-2, Tanker 29 and then Engine 29, and towards the end, Bubba. We came to find out the the owner of the house, had got a pile of trash together to burn, set it on fire, and then went into Halifax for 25 minutes. While he was gone, he left no one there to watch it, and the wind got a hold of it and it took off. It burned about maybe a little under half an acre of the field. After awhile, Warren (Chief 29-2) told me to start wetting the field down, so I got some nozzle time in. I wet down the lower end of the field, and then Matt told me to start wetting the field down as I made my way back towards the engine with the line. I did that until the tank on the engine ran dry. We then broke the lines down and loaded them up on someone's pickup. I then moved the Utility and the Engine went down to get filled by Tanker 29. After the engine was filled, we all headed back. The engine left first, followed by us, then Bubba, then Brush 29. Back at the station, the engine pulled along side of the station so we could hose it down and clean the mud off of it. I went beside the old fire house and up along the hall and came around and parked it. When I got out I saw that I had gotten mud on the tires from going through the grass. So Bubba told me to take it for a drive to get all of the mud out of the tires. So I took it for a short drive and came back and parked it in the alley. After the engine was done they moved it in front of one of the bay doors and started packing hose on it again. They then brought the tanker down to hose it off and I took the Utility past the station and up the dirt alley and around and came back in on the road that runs between the hall and station and I pulled up behind the Tanker and I hosed the Utility down. After that we went over to start washing the hose, and Bubba told me to shut the Utility off. I told him that it was a bitch to start and them Robbie took me over and showed me how to start it. After that Bubba talked abotu a few things and then we set about washing the hose off. We did 6 sections of hose and then the engine was backed in. I then backed the Utility in and then me and my father headed on home. Once at home I changed clothes and then I took a nice cool shower. I then ate dinner and am now 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.
