Finished with Part 1 of Mod A

Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 12:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch and then read the paper while I watched All My Children on TV. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I then ate dinner while I was on the computer. I then left the house at 17:10 hours and headed up to the fire house. Once there I picked up my gear and headed into Station 29. I got there and took my books inside and then brought my gear inside also and put it out in the bay area. Tom then had the people that needed to re do the gear test take it. I got dressed in 59 seconds. He then had us show him how to get on and off of the Engine using 3 points of contact. We then got out of our gear and then went in the classroom and went over Chapter 30. We then had a 30 minute review period and then took the test. I got a 96% on the written test. We were out of there by 21:10 hours. I headed towards home. I stopped at the fire house and dropped my gear off and then went up to the fire hall. LeeAnn and Bubba were there doing some re arranging of stuff in the back room off of the kitchen. Helen then brought her two hams over and then we talked for a little bit and then she went over to her house. The 3 of us then talked about the tranning, and other stuff. We were sitting there when the tones for 29 in Bubba's pager went off. We sat there until we heard them continue to hit tones and our pagers went off for a structure fire at Cozy Corners. The three of us ran out of the fire hall and towards the fire house. I quickly moved my car (why I don't know), but when I got out I stepped in mud. I then ran into the fire house and got my bunker pants on. I asked Bubba if he wanted me to go with him on the Tanker and he said yes. So I threw my jacket and helmet in the side compartment and then got in the Tanker. I put us responding. We got as far as Kiner's and Alf held the Box to Company 29. We decided to go to Shell and get fuel. We passed Engine 29 at Giant and we think it was their Op-Spots, but what ever it was, something was dragging on the road, sending sparks flying out from the back of the Engine. The Tanker was right behind them then also. We got fuel and everyone at Shell was asking us what 29 was dragging behind their Engine. We tried to call Engine 29 to let them know they were dragging something, but ended up calling County and leting them know that they were dragging behind the Engine. After we got fuel, we headed on back to the fire house. Once there I changed out of my gear. Jason, Jason, Dave, LeeAnn, Robby and Eric were there. We told them about Engine 29 and then Bubba told them what the one customer in Shell said to Bubba that he thought 29 was supposed to be a proffesional fire company. I noticed that Kim had called my cell phone, so I called her back twice, and she didn't answer. So I then called Sue and asked her if she found someone to go on the unit with her and she said Kim went with her. She asked me if I could go on now and I said I was on my way back in the Tanker. So once at home I took a quick shower and then called Sue to tell her I was going on while I took the trash out. Sue said that they might be taking the guy from the appartment down to the hospital, due to the fact that he told them that if he was not allowed back in his appartment, he was going to flip out. I said I was on my way in. I got in there and parked my car in the parking lot across from the bank and behind the Historical Society and then walked up to the scene. Amanda was there with the fire company. The guy ended up not flipping out and we were placed in service. I caught a ride on the side of 13-1 back to my car and then went to the "Barn". I talked to Sue and Kim for a little bit and then headed on home. I swung by the fire house as LeeAnn and Robby were still there. We talked for about 45 minutes and then I continued on home. I am going to crash in bed soon as I am really tired.
