My First Fire Call of the Year

Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed around 03:30 hours when the pager went off for chest pains in Millersburg Borough. I got out of bed and got dressed and got my boots on and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". While I was on my way in, I heard MICU 6-3 go available from the call that Millersburg was on, and they headed to the chest pain call. Scott then called my cell phone and asked me if I would mind if 6-3 just handled the call since they were already in Millersburg. I said that I did not mind, and he let 6-3 know that they were going to handle the call. I then ran up to Sheetz and got gas and then stopped at Giant and picked up a few things I knew we needed. I then headed on home. Once at home I changed back into my pj's and went back to bed. Bill then texted me around 05:00 hours and we texted back and forth for a few minutes, and then I went to sleep. The pager then went off I believe 3 times during the morning. Twice we were cancelled, and the thrid time was for a chimney fire on River Vista Drive in Halifax Township. As I laid in bed, I heard Warren start his truck up and leave. I reset the pager and went back to sleep. I got up at 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and took a shower. I then got changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the PS2 to play a game of college football. I was playing Minnesota, and winning, when at 15:42 hours, the fire pager went off for a chimney fire on Straws Church Road. I kicked my slippers off and ran over to my room. My father came running back the hall when he heard the pager go off, and he asked me what we had. I told him we had a chimney fire on Straws Church Road. I got my shoes on and grabbed my jacket, hat and keys and ran out to my car. I got in my car and headed up to the fire house. I pulled in and LeeAnn's car was already there. I parked and ran inside the fire station and over to my stall. The Engine was already started, and I quickly kicked off my shoes and put on my bunker pants. I then grabbed my helment and jacket and ran around the front of the Tanker. Robby was sitting in the driver's seat, LeeAnn was in the right rear jump seat, and Tyler, Robby's boy was sitting in the middle jump seat. I got in the officers seat and laid my jacket and helmet on the middle console. We pulled out and stopped on the ramp when we saw Bruce's car parked outside. We waited a few seconds and then Bruce popped out the front door and told us to go and that he would bring the Tanker. So Robby put us responding and we started down the alley. I turned the power button for the Federal Q on, since Robby forgot to do it, and I tapped the floor pedal. Jamie Stoneroad then turned in the alley and we stopped. Jamie moved over and let us go by. We slowed down and Robby rolled down his window and told him to go with Bruce on the Tanker. My father and Whitey brought the Utility. We then pulled out onto Armstrong Valley Road and we took off. I worked the Federal Q most of the way to the scene. A little ways before we got to Straws Church Road, Dave, who was on the scene already, held everyone to a class 3 response. We got there and we all laughed as we saw that Dave had his shitter trailer hooked up to his truck. We pulled in the driveway and we all got out. Lonny, and Jason were already there. The Tanker then showed up, followed by the Utility. Troy, Ray and Jean also showed up. We checked the chimney, and we ended up setting up the 24 foot ladder off of the tanker again. We were at this house back in December for a chimney fire also. Robby and Jamie went up to the roof with the chimney rods and brush to clean the chimney out again. After the chimney was cleaned, we put everything back and we headed back to the fire station. While riding back I filled the report out for Dave. When we got back to the station, I noticed that my father had left the lights on in his truck. When he pulled up in the Utility, I pointed it out to him. He did not want to back the Utility in, so he had me do it. It is a little crocked, but it is in, and you can get in and out of each piece with ease. I then took off my bunker pants and hung my jacket back up and put my helmet away, and then went back over to the desk and finished filling out the report. Most of the guys and gals hung around and we talked for a little bit and then everyone dispersed and went home. I finished filling out the report and then headed on home. Once at home, my father was in the process of putting a pizza in the oven for both myself and him. I then went back to my football game. I ate dinner while I played on the PS2. I ended up winning, more like killing Minnesota, 125-7. I then got off the PS2 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.
