County Engine and Tanker 216 responding

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and my mother woke me up at 09:30 hours this morning to move my car so she could leave to go down to her grandparents house. After I moved my car, I went back in the house and layed down in bed and fell back asleep. I was rocked out of bed around 12:15 hours this afternoon when the pager went off for a corn field fire in Jackson Township. Since I was off today I was able to go with the FD. So I got out of bed and turned the ambulance pager off. I quickly threw on socks, jeans, a t-shirts, shoes, my glasses, hearing aid, grabbed my wallet, cell phone, hat and keys and jumped in my car and headed off to the fire house. I got there and pulled in and the house siren was still winding down. I got out of the car and went into the station. I went in and Bruce asked who was there and I told him who. As I was getting my pants on, he told me that he was going to take the tanker and me and Jason would take the engine. So I finished getting my gear on and got in the officers seat of the engine. Jason got in and I put both the engine and the tanker responding and off we went. My right foot on the pedal on the floor working the Q and my left hand pulling on the landyard working the air horns. We got there and me and Jason went through a field to get to the one side of the fire. I pulled a preconnect off and went to work on a brush pile that was burning. We spent about i would say 2-1/2 hours on the scene, putting out hot spots. We then rolled up hose and filled the tank on the engine back up. Helping us were Brush 29 from Halifax, Tanker 21 from Elizabethville, and Brush and Engine 19 from Carsonville. After that we went back to the station and cleaned hose and re packed the preconnect on the engine. After that I backed the Utility in and Bruce and Jason ran into Halifax to refill the tanker. Me and Sean talked for a little bit and then we both left. I headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and took a shower. My mother then pulled up and we talked some and then I got in the PS2 and played for about 4 hours. I ate dinner while I was on there. I then 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.
