Sunbury and Snow

Around 01:40 hours last night I said good night to my mother and headed back to my bedroom to go to bed. Just as I stepped in my bedroom, the pager went off for bleeding in Millersburg Borough at Polk Apartments. I got changed into my uniform and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I pulled in the same time that Dohn did and we both got in 13-1 and off we went. We got up there and Chief 20-A was already there. We got the guy loaded up and took him up to Sunbury Community Hospital. After we got what we needed up there, we headed on home. We parked the unit in the shed at 05:00 hours and my father called me on my cell phone and asked me where I was. I told him that we were just getting back and that I would be home shortly. I went back to the office, logged my time in, pulled the times up for the call, talked to Dohn for a few minutes and then we both headed on home. Once at home I talked to my dad for a little bit and then I hit the sack. I got up around 12:00 hours, got out of bed and got dressed. I then ate lunch and watched my TV show. I then sat down to read the paper. Around 13:20 hours the pager went off for an unconscious child in Halifax Borough. I got my boots on and got in my car and headed into the shed. I got there and 13-1 was already pulled out and Dohn and Bill were waiting on me. Bill went responding as I parked my car. I then got in 13-1 and off we went. We got there and Scott was already there. We got the kid loaded up and Medic 6 got on board and we took the kid down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. We went back to the shed and the medic got picked up there. I then logged my time in and pulled my times up. I then did my paperwork on the nosebleed from this morning. After that I talked to Bill a little and then I headed on home. Once at home I finished reading the paper and then I got on the computer and ate dinner. Around 17:45 hours the pager went off for a psyhcatric person in Halifax Township. I got in my car and headed into the shed while I ate my second hot dog. I got there and pulled in right behind Carol. Sue was going to take the call and Bill followed us down in his truck incase we needed help. We did not and we got the guy loaded up and took him down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. Once back at the shed, I logged my time in and then went over to class. After class was over I helped Sue with the paperwork for the psychatric call. After that we went outside and it was snowing and the cars and ground were already covered. So we cleaned our cars off and then we both headed on home. Heading on home I could barley see 5 feet in front of me as it was snowing that bad. I made it home in one piece. Once at home I took a shower and then ate a light snack. Around 23:20 hours the paher went off for an accident in Reed Township. Sue, Scott and Deb took that call and are currently on scene at this time. I am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I wil be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Busy in the churches

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed around 05:50 hours when the pager went off for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township for Company 20 or 13. I slowly got out of bed and slowly got dressed, while my father got dressed fast, don't know why. 20-1 got out and we were cancelled so I went back to bed. The pager then went off again around 06:30 hours for a sick person in Upper Paxton Township. Viv called the house, because she thought that Deb and Kim were still up at Millersburg working. So me and my father got dressed and then got in his truck and headed into the "Barn". Just as we got to the bible church, Deb put 13-1 responding. There had been a mix up in communications. So we turned around and headed on home. Once back at home I crawled in bed again and slept for about another hour. I then got up and ate breakfast and read the paper. I then took a shower and got on the computer. Around 10:30 hours the pager went off for a CVA in Halifax Township. Deb and Kim took that one. Then around 11:30 hours the pager went off for breathing problems in Halifax Township. This one was the the church behind the high school.

We got there and got the guy in the ambulance and talked with him. We placed Medic 6 in service and the guy refused to go down, so we went back to the shed. Once at the shed, I logged our times in and then did my paperwork on the call. After I was done with that, we headed on home. Once at home I got changed an, and got back on the computer while I ate lunch. I then got off around 15:20 hours and went out to watch the race.

I got my boots on and got in my car and headed into the shed. I got as far as Clugston's Farm, where we were cancelled. So I ran up to Sheetz and got gas and then headed on home. Once at home I watched the end of the race. Matt Kenseth won the race. It was a good race, not a lot of caution flags. I just finished eating a light 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.

An early morning fall

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 08:30 hours for a fall person in Halifax Township. I got out of bed and got dressed, got my boots on and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I came up on Dohn's driveway and he was sitting at the end of his road waitintg to pull out. Since I had no one behind me, I slowed down and let him pull out and then I followed him into the shed. We both pulled up and both got in 13-1 and off we went. We got out there and the lady had fallen getting out of the shower, and was now laying in the bathroom. The bathroom was so freakin small. After talking to her for a little bit, me and Dohn decided to call the fire department out for lifting assitance. They showed up very quickly and had at least 7 guys. After talking with the lady some more, we decided to call for ALS, and had county dispatch Medic 6 to our location. Meanwhile Dohn and the fire department worked on getting the lady onto the scoop strecther and then out of the bathroom, onto the stretcher and then into the back of the ambulance. Medic 6 ended up going down with us and we took her to Osteo. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. We dropped the medic off at his squad at Sheetz. We then headed back to the shed. Once at the shed I logged my time in for the call and then pulled my times up for the call. I then did my paperwork on the call. After that I headed on home. As I was turning on to Creek Drive, my parents were turning onto Enders Road to go shopping. Once at home I read the paper and watched some of the Olympics. I watched the Men's Bronze Medal Hockey game. A very good game. The Czech's beat the Russians 3 to 0. My parents then came home and I helped bring a few things in. I just finished eating dinner and am now getting ready to hit the oil 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.

Another School Bus Accident

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 08:50 hours when the pager went off for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and Dohn and Bill already had the unit pulled out. Bill put us responding as I parked the car and I got in and off we went. We got there and here a kid had hit a school bus. We checked out three kids from the school bus and two of them there parents came and picked them up and we only took one down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. Once back at the shed, I logged my time in and then called the township to talk to the secretary, who I found out was not in. So they told me to call Dave Hoover and talk to him regarding two bills that the township was to pay for us. So I called out there and he had stepped out for lunch. So I left a message and then did my tripsheet. Dave's office then called back around 12:50 hours and told me that they were paid. I then called Keystone insurance in Eville and talked to Tom Troutman and told him that they were paid. I then left and headed on home. Once at home I sat down and read the paper and the cat got in my lap. The cat finally got off my lap around 16:30 hours. I then got on the computer and ate dinner.

Nose Bleed

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 11:20 hours when the pager went off for a nose bleed in Millersburg Borough at Polk Apartments. I got out of bed and got dressed, got my boots on and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and Carol and Bill already had 13-1 pulled out and went responding as I parked my car. I handed Bill my radio and then got in the back and off we went. We got up there and went into the lady's apartment. She did not really want to go down to the hospital, just wanted us to pack her nose to stop it from bleeding. We told her that we can not do that and that she would either have to go to the hospital or she could try her family doctor. She said that she would get her brother to take her up to her doctor. So we got a refusal and returned to the shed. Once there I logged my time in and then pulled the times up for the call. I then talked with Carol and Bill for a few minutes and then headed on home. Once at home I brought the mail in and I noticed that there was a letter to me from Amanda. I opened it up and read it and then ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the computer and sent an email back to Amanda to answer her letter and to do a few other things. I am still working on 1980 from the log book, but am almost done with it.

Rolled one over

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed around 06:19 hours when the pager went off for an accident with entrapment in Jackson Township. Since I was off today, I jumped out of bed, threw a t-shirt, socks, and jeans on, grabbed my wallet, glasses, shoes and keys and flew out the door. I got in my car and headed for the fire house. I parked the car and popped my trunk and got out and got my gear on and then ran over to the bay door. Bruce put the bay door up and I ran inside and got in the engine and we were off. We got to the scene and the car was on it's side and the lady was already out of the car. Bubba told me to check her out which I did. She said that she was fine and was feeling ok. I had Bubba place ALS in service at this time and then I walked the lady over and put her in the cab of the engine and sat with her until the ambulance arrived. I then walked her over and gave her to Dohn and Carol to take a look at. We then stood around and waited for the towing company to get there. The lady did not go down, so she then got out and Dohn and Carol took off. After the tow truck left, we headed back to the station. Back at the station, Bubba had me try on some gear that was just turned back in and it all fit me. So I was re-issued the new gear, and I was moved from a probationary firefighter to an active firefighter. And my gear is now kept in a stall in the fire house so I no longer have to keep it in the truck of my car. I then sat around and shot the shit with Bubba and Bruce. I then left and headed on home. Once at home I ate breakfast and read the paper. I then headed into the "Barn". Once in there I unhooked the one computer and ran that up to NAS and dropped it off. I then headed on home again. Once at home I took a shower. I then ate lunch and got on the computer to do a few things. I started working on 1980 from the log book. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer. I then got changed into my uniform and then me and my father headed into the shed for my dad to meet with Dohn about training for the rest of the year. After that we headed on home. Once at home I ate a light 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.

Slow day again

Went to bed last night at 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the paper and ate something light for lunch. I then got my boots on and headed into town. I ran up to Sheetz and got gas and then I ran to Giant and picked up a gallon of iced tea. I then headed on back to the "Barn". Bill was already there when I parked the car. I then moved both units out and plugged them in. I then went back to the office and typed up the minutes for both of last nights meetings. I then talked to Bill for a few short minutes and then I headed on home. My mother pulled in right before I did. I then helped her bring in a few things. I then got on the computer to do a few things and I started working on 1979 from the log book. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer. I then took a shower and got back on the computer. Around 19:00 hours the pager went off for a fall person in Wayne Township, with us in place of Medic 6. I called Dohn and Carol and I told Carol that if they needed any help lifting, to give me a buzz. Carol told me to head on out that way awhile. So I waited until they wetn responding, to make sure that 6 did not get out, and then I headed on out to the scene. Boy that place was back a long dirt lane and the house was a mess. I got there first and 13-1 was not far behind me. We helped the guy up and then I headed on home and the guy did not want to go down. Once at home I ate a light snack 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.

Medic 83 involved in a crash

Around 01:20 hours the pager went off for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township. My father got out of bed and got ready and then headed into the shed where he met up with Dohn and they took the call. I believe that the Pt. ended up taking a ride with PSP. I went to bed around 03:30 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 07:30 hours when the pager went off for breathing problems in Jackson Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and so did my father and then we both got in his truck and headed into the "Barn". Bill called me on the radio and asked if we minded if he took the call with us and we said that we did not mind. So we got in there right after Bill and we got in 13-1 and off we went. We got there and Medic 6 was already there and we got the guy loaded up and headed on down to Osteo, BLS. After we got what we needed we headed on home. While we were at the guys house, the pager went off for an accident with entrapment in Reed Township, Perry County. 12 was able to get out and we were placed in service. We stopped at the shed and I logged our times in and then the three of us talked for a little bit. We then all went out to Community Medical Associates, so my father could have blood drawn. After that we went back to the shed and dropped Bill off and then headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then ate lunch and got on the computer to do a few things. I was able to get through yet another year of the log book. I ate dinner while I was on the computer and then me and my father left around 18:35 hours and headed into the shed for the meeting tonight. The regular meeting lasted a little over 2 hours and the firemen's relief was fairly short. We left there around 22:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and watched a little tv and ate a very light snack. I will be going to bed shortly and trying to get some sleep.

The start of the season

Went to bed last night around 01:30 hours as I was really dragging. I got out of bed this morning around 11:00 hours. I got dressed and went out and read the comics. Steph then texted me on my cell phone and then I got online and talked with her for about 30 minutes and I did a few other things. I then went out and read the paper. My mother then came home from church and I helped her bring some things in and then I finished reading the paper. I then made lunch and sat down to watch the race from Daytona, the Daytona 500. The race got started at 14:30 hours. It was a good race. It was overcast, windy and foggy, something not seen that often in Flordia, let alone for Daytona. There was a few wrecks, but they did not really have "THE BIG ONE" that they usually have in the restrictor plate racing. I ate dinner while I watched the race. Around 17:30 hours I went back to the bedroom to change into uniform to cover for my father for a few hours tonight. Just as I stepped into my room, the pager went off for chest pains in Halifax Borough. Scott and Kim handeled this call and took the guy to Harrisburg Hospital. I got changed and took my pager out with me to watch the race. About 15 minutes later the pager went off again for an accident with injuries in Halifax Township. I went back to my room and got my boots on and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and parked and then Carol pulled in, followed by Sue. We all got in 13-2 and off we went. We got there and the fire department already had a collar on him. We placed him on a backboard and put him in the unit and took the kid down to Hershey. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. Once back at the shed, I logged my time in and pulled the times up for the call. Then me, Sue, Kim, and Carol talked for a little bit. Kim and Carol then left and I stayed to help Sue with her tripsheet. After Sue was done, we both headed on home. Once at home I found out that Jimmie Johnson won the race. I then changed into my PJ's and had a light snack. I 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.

Fire on the second floor

Went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got out of bed at 06:00 hours this morning when the alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed, went out and got the paper and then read the paper while I ate dinner. I then got on the computer for a little bit this morning. I then left here around 07:15 hours and headed up to the fire house. I got up there and parked, grabbed my gear out of my trunk and went inside the station, turned the lights on and sat my gear down. I then sat down and grabbed a magazine to read. Leeann then showed up next, followed by Bill, the Robbie, the Lyle, and then Bubba. We talked for about 10 minutes and joked around. We then got ready around 07:45 hours and got in the trucks and headed on up to Eville's Station. I rode up on the engine, Bubba and Lyle had the tanker and Leeann had the Utility. The tanker and utility parked in the parking lot, and we pulled the engine over onto the stone pad so we could pull the portable generator off for Eville to use for the smoke machine. While we were doing that, Carsonville pulled in with both of their engines. After we pulled the portable generator off, we went over into 21's station so they could go over what we were going to do. We then assigned our positions. Lonny drove the engine, I was the officer, then Leeann and Lyle, and a guy from Eville filled out the back seat of the engine. We then got in the engine and went up to the square and then came down a back street. While Lonny was driving, the rest of us were getting the air packs and mask on. We then made the right hand turn onto the street and we had Engine 19-1 behind us. We pulled in and got out. Leeann and the guy from Eville were the search team, and me and Lyle were the attack team. Carsonville was the truck company, with orders to ladder the rear roof and vent the second story. So me and lyle pulled a preconnect off and the search team went in first and we followed, with lyle manning the nozzle and me doing back up. We went in the house and made a right hand turn, then backed up and went up the stairs to the second floor. We got up the second floor into the room and then they charged the line, making it harder to pull the hose. We finally found the seat of the fire and thenw e proceeded back outside. Boy I thoguht my chest was going to explode. I sat down on the grass to rest for a few minutes and someone helped take my air pack off. I then put it back on and Bubba changed the cylinder on it for me. I then sat out for two rounds and then decided to give the vent job a try. So I packed up again and me and a guy from Eville were assigned to vent. So I took the hose line and went up the ladder and we opened the second floor window and I went inside and then the guy feed the hose line into me and we advanced the line out to the hall. After holding there for a few minutes, we back the line out and then exited the house and climbed back down. We then took the ladder down and then I did not go in anymore. I believe that only one more team went inside before we stopped and started cleaning up. We repacked the preconnect and then put the ladder back on and then they showed up how PPV works. After that we went back into the station and we debreiefed on the training. We then backed the engine into their station and we topped off our tank and then we headed back to our station. We got there and backed everything in and then I took my gear off and then cleaned and put away the mask. Carsonville and a few guys from Eville then showed up and we went up to the hall and had pizza and we talked. I left the station around 14:38 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then told my parents how training went. I then got on the computer and ate dinner. I 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.

Everyone on the Engine

Around 20:42 hours last night, Scott called my cell phone to let me know that the girls basketball team won the league title. I told him ok and then called Bubba and let him know. I then got dressed and headed on up to the fire house. When I got there, Bubba was pulling the tanker out, and then he pulled the engine out. I then grabbed my gear and threw it behind the officers seat. Robbie then came over and me and him took the engine and Bubba took the tanker. We headed on out to Patton Road and waited for 29 to show up. The town cop was next to show up, followed by both of 29's engines. Then we waited on the bus to show up. When they did show up, the town cop lead the way, then 29's two engines, then the bus, then we followed the bus. We lead them up to the school and then they all piled out of the bus. They all got on top of Engine 29-1. Me and Robbie sat in the engine while they did this, and we heard county call Engine 29-1 at least 6 times. Finally county toned out Box 29-6 for a reported accident in front of the Jelly Bean Junction. Alf got on the radio and said that Engine and Tanker 216 would handle the call as they were on another detail. So Robbie backed up and then we took off. We made took the turn by the school there, and I slammed my foot down on the Q and laid on the air horns. We got down to the scene the same time that Lt. 29-1 did and we found nothing. We then went up Market Street, into the Heights and found nothing up there, so we placed the box in service. By this time both engines were coming down 4th street, so we picked up the front and lead them down 4th, then a left on to Armstrong Street, then a left on to Second Street, then a left onto Rise Street, then a right back on Peters Mountain Road, we then turned in at the school, while the rest of the parade went up to Giant and turned around and came back down. We then backed out into traffic and held traffic while the parade turned in at the school. When the engine with the girls on it went by, I laid on the Q and air horns. We then feel in line at the back and went around back again and parked. The girls off loaded from the engine and then Alf wanted a pic of the team in front of the engine. So he told us to move the engine over and turn the quartz lights on. So we moved the engine and Robbie went around back and started the generator up while I climbed up to turn the lights on. When I went to turn the first one on, the girls started chantting "Jesse, Jesse, Jesse". After I turned that one on, I climbed up on top and turned the other one on, while the girls chantted "We love Jesse, We love Jesse". After that we left and headed on up to Shell to get disiel and then headed back to the station. Once back at the station the three of us stood around and bullshited until 23:30 hours when we all left. Once at home I took the trash out, then checked my email qucikly and then went to bed. I was rocked out of bed this morning around 11:40 hours when the pager went off for an accident in Perry County. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got as far as Fisherville, when they placed us in service. So I turned around and headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then made lunch and got on the computer to do a few things. Then around 15:30 hours the pager went off for wires down in Upper Paxton Township. I got in my car and slowly made my way into the shed. When I got there, 13-1 was already pulled out and Bill put us responding. We got as far as Seiders Road, when the FD placed us in service. So we turned around and headed back to the shed. Once there, I logged my time in for yesterday and then talked to Bill for a little bit. I then went to Rite Aid and got a powerball ticket for us and then headed on home. I had just walked in the house, when the pager went off for chest pains in Millesburg Borough. I got back in the car and headed back into the shed. I got there and 13-1 was already out and Bill put us responding. We got up there and got the guy loaded and met Medic 6 at the high school and then continued on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. The medics truck was moved down to our station so we dropped him off and then backed the unit in. I then logged my time in and got the times for the call. I then talked to Bill for a little bit and then we both headed for home. Once at home I took a shower and ate dinner and just finished eating a light snack. I 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.

Another Slow Day

Went to bed last night around 03:20 hours and got up this morning around 10:20 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the paper. I then got the mail and then made lunch and got on the computer to did a few things. I was able to get through yet another year of the log book, but they are starting to take longer, as there are more calls that were logged. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer and just finished taking a shower. We had no calls once again today. I am getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net, and wait on the phone call from Scott. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Slow Day

Around 02:00 hours the pager went off for diabetic problems in Halifax Township. I called Dohn and Carol to make sure that they heard the call. I then went to sleep around 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed around 03:50 hours when the pager went off again, but I missed what it was for. I think that county accidentally activated our tones, because they never redispatched us again. So I went back to bed and got up this morning around 10:30 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the paper and watched a little tv. I then made lunch and got on the computer to do a few things. I was able to get through another year of the log book today as we had no calls. I ate dinner while I was on the computer. Around 17:56 hours the pager went off for a sick person in Millersburg Borough. 20 went responding right after the dispatch and we were placed in service. I then left here around 18:05 hours and headed on down to county for the EMA meeting tonight. I got down there and my father was outside waiting for me. We both went inside and we headed inside for the meeting. The meeting lasted about 2 hours and then we left for home. I stopped at Sue's house to drop off the CPR cards and her and me talked for about 1-1/2 hours. I then left there and stopped at Giant and picked up a few things and then stopped at the "Barn" to log in my time for today. I then headed on home. Once at home I had a light snack and amd now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on for a little bit longer tonight, so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.

Out of Control

Around 21:00 hours last night I believe, the pager went off for a pshyscsmatic in Halifax Township. Me and my father got in his truck and headed into the "Barn". We got there and Sue was already there. We got in 13-2 and off we went. We got there and got the lady loaded up into the unit and headed on down to Osteo Hospital. The lady was doing ok, talking with Sue, while I copied down her medications. Then as we came into Matamoras, she undid the belts on the stretcher and started rocking back and forth on the stretcher. She then she made a grab for the door handle on the rear door. Sue grabbed her right arm and tried to hold her back while I made a dash for the lady and grabbed under her left shoulder and started to pull her back. As soon as we started pulling her back, she went crazy and became very combative with us. At this point I yelled for my father to pull over and come back and help us as she was trying to get out of the ambulance. He pulled into the parking lot of the Matamoras Community Church and got out and came running back to help. Meanwhile, me and Sue had managed to het the lady somewhat back on the stretcher, and I was holding on to her left arm and trying to hold her legs down. I ended up laying down across the lady to hold her down. My father then got in the back and grabbed her legs, while I took ahold of the lady right arm so Sue could help my father put the straps on and tighten them up. They then did the rest of the belts. We then continued on our way at a class 2 pace. We got the lady down to Osteo and when Sue called in, we made sure that we had security meet us there. As we got out to get her out, she started to move around again. As I got in the back to talk to her, she pulled ler left leg out of the straps and became combative once again. Round 2 set in and I ended up laying across her again to keep her from getting up. Sue grabbed her knees and my father grabbed the lady's ankles. Meanwhile the security gurad (after I told him that some help would be nice) got in and grabbed her left arm, while a nurse got in the side and grabbed her right arm. We got her in and off loaded her to the ER, where she became combative again and tried to run out of the room. After we got what we needed, we headed on home. My father let Sue drive home and she did a very good job, needs a little work backing the unit in, but overall she did good. Once we got back to the shed, I logged our times in and then we headed on home. Once at home I had a light snack and got on the computer for a little bit and then hit the sack as I was tired. I was rocked out of bed around 08:30 hours this morning when the pager went off for breathing problems in Halifax Township. Dohn and Carol took the call. I got out of bed and got dressed and grabbed something light for breakfast and headed into the shed to see if the AED guy needed to be let in. I got there and he must have gotten there before the call came in as he was working on the AED's. I stayed until he finished and then I left and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I ate lunch while I was on the computer and I was able to do another year out of the log book.

I got out of bed and got dressed, took my medications and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and Bill and Dohn were already there. I pulled in and parked beside Dohn's truck while they were pulling 13-2 out of the bay. I went over and got in the unit and off we went. We got up there and Medic 6 was already there. We got the lady loaded and took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed down there, we headed on home. As we came up to the red light at the triangle, we noticed that there was a van sitting on Palmer Drive that had left front end damage to it. So we pulled over and Dohn and me got out to check to see if everyone was ok. Everyone said that they were fine and we asked them one more time and they said that everyone was ok. So we got back in the unit and went over to Shell and got disiel. We then left to take the medic back up to SLV so he could pick up his squad. When we pulled out of Shell on to 225, Dohn took the turn so hard that it knocked Bill out of the captain's chair in the back. So we pulled over and I got out and went around and opened up the side door and me and the medic helped Bill back up. I then got back in and we continued on our way. When we went through the square in Millersburg, Dohn knocked the medic off of the bench seat. He was able to get himself back up. As we were coming into the square of Millersburg, the pager went off for a fall person in Millersburg Borough. We dropped the medic off at his squad, and then went responding.

While I waited for the guy to call me back, me and Bill shreeded old tripsheets from 7 years ago. Everyone left and I waited for my father to show up. He got there around 17:40 hours and I told him what happened and that it was now fixed. We then both left and headed for home. Once at home I talked to my dad to see if he could help out Steph get re-certified in CPR. Steph had contacted me ealier in the afternoon and asked me if I knew anyone who could get her recertififed.
