First Fire of the Year
Went to bed Tuesday night at 03:00 hours and got up Wednesday morning at 12:45 hours. I got out of bed and got changed and then ate lunch and read the paper. I then went off duty at 13:00 hours. Once off duty, I took a shower and changed into street clothes. I sat down and watched MASH on TV. I left at 18:00 hours and headed up to the fire house for bingo. Bingo went good. I won $100.00 off of the pop-open tickets that we sell up there. After bingo was over, me, LeeAnn and Lonny went down to the fire house to look at a few things. We left there around 23:00 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I watched TV. I watched Mythbusters from 01:00 to 03:00 hours and then went to bed right afterwards. I was rocked out of bed this morning at 09:01 hours when the pager went off for breathing problems in Halifax Borough. I got out of bed and got dressed and got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got in there and parked and me and Dohn got in 13-2 and off we went. We got there and it ended up being a refusal. So we went back to the shed. Once there, I logged my time in and then did my paperwork. I then headed on home. Once at home I ate breakfast and started to read the paper. At 10:54 hours, the fire pager and then the EMS pager went off for a vehicle fire in front of Gonder's Grub House. I got in my car and headed to Dohn's house. I got there and parked my car and got in the ambulance and off we went. We passed the fire house and the Tanker was just pulling out. We got there and Jason was already on the scene. Dohn parked the unit and I went over and talked to Jason. I asked him if he wanted to pull the trash line off the Tanker and he said yes. So Bubba and Sean came screaming around the corner in the Tanker and came to a stop beside the vehicle. Now let me tell you this, this car was off, a working engine compartment fire. Sean got out of the Tanker and headed back to get the air pack out, while me and Jason started to unfasten the trash line, when all of a sudden, Bubba starts backing up in the Tanker. He stopped and all 3 of us tried it again, when Bubba started moving foward again. He finally stopped and Sean was able to get the pack out and me and Jason got the trash line off. Sean and Jason started working on the fire in the engine compartment. Engine 21 then arrived on the scene and assisted with over haul. We then left and once I got my car I headed into the shed and got times and then headed back out to the fire house. Once at the fire house, I helped them clean stuff up and then the 4 of us talked for a little bit. Then it was just me and Bubba. We decided to pull the Tanker out and take a look at the CAFS system, since it was not working up at the scene. We ran the CAFS through the trash line. We found it that we can flow foam, but no air is getting into the system. So we put the Tanker away and then we talked while Bubba did a few things on the computer. Robby then stopped by and we talked for a little bit and then we all left. I headed on home. Once at home I finished reading the paper and then I ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then got on the computer 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.
