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.
