Another Fire at McDonald's

Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 11:30 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then read the paper. I was just finishing up the Sports section, the pager went off for a sick person in Halifax Township. I got my boots on and then got in my car and headed into the "Barn". I got there and parked and Scott was still there. He said he was going to head up to the scene awhile. Carol then showed up and we got in 13-2 and off we went. We got there and Medic 6 and Scott were already there. Carol told me to go ahead and get out awhile and go in. So I got out and grabbed the bag and went in the trailer that had the door open. There was a guy standing in the kitchen, I went around him and started back the hall way, when I noticed the bedroom was set up differently. That was when I realized that I was in the wrong trailer. I went outside and found out that the guy was sitting outside at a picnic table talking to Scott and Medic 6. We got the guy loaded up and started on our way down to Harrisburg Hospital. While on the way down he started to crash on us again. First he vomited and then his mental status started to decrease dramatically. I ended up bagging him once we hit Front Street and they ended up tubing him at the hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once back at the shed, Bill was there. I got my times and logged my times in and then did the paperwork from the call. After I was done I headed on home. Once at home I changed into street clothes and then I made and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then left the house at 17:28 hours and headed up to the fire house. Once there I picked up my gear and then headed into Station 29. Class was all about Hazmat tonight. Then at 20:46 hours, we got hit for a medical assist on Miller's Church Road. Tom asked if we had anyone home and we said we did not know. We said we knew that Bubba was working and Robby probally had the kids. Tom told LeeAnn to call Robby and ask him if he needed any help. Robby said he did not know yet. Tom said that he was going to finish the Hazmat lecture and then do a review tonight, and then have the test on Thursday, with no review before hand. He said that if we felt comfortable reading the rest of the Hazmat, we could go. Tom then told us to call Robby again to see who all he had, and he told LeeAnn that he would call her once he got out to the scene. So Tom continued on with class and then about 10 minutes later, Alf came in and leaned down beside me and told me that Robby called him and told him that they needed more help then what they had. About that time, the Engine went enroute and Alf said never mind. We then started the review, when all of a sudden Alf got off of his cell phone. He said to Tom that he hated to rain on his parade, but that there was a structure fire at McDonald's. Everyone in the classroom scrambeled. I grabbed my books and ran out to my car. LeeAnn said she was heading to the station and Eric said he was going to the scene. I got in my car and then took off for the scene. I got there behind Eric and parked my car. I got out and got my gear on and then went over to talk to the Manager and go inside to see where the smell was coming from. Bisking then showed up and I went out and told him where I had smelled and showed him where. Engine 29-1 then showed up and I went back outside. They then asked for the manager and I went over and took her inside and then stayed inside. We found out that it ended up being in the electrical panel. After we were done there, I ran over to Giant and picked up a gallon of iced tea and some cooking spray and then headed on home. I stopped at the fire house and dropped off my gear and got times for both of the calls and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and will be going to bed soon as I am tired.
