Jess

Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got up this morning at 12:00 hours. I got out of bed and got changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch and read the paper. I then headed up to the fire house. Once there I put my gear in the Utility, along with the posters and a roll of masking tape and duck tape. I then moved the Engine out and then pulled the Utility out and then put the Engine back in. I then waited to Jason to show up. Once he got there and put his gear in the back, off we went. We hung a poster up on the telephone pole at the stop sign right in town. We then headed up towards Eville. We stopped at Gonder's and dropped one off and then continued on up to Eville. We hit Wal-Mart, Shell, Klinger Lumber, West End Garage, and then Kratzer's Hardware. We then started on our way back into Halifax. I had just turned up Callow Hill Street and was going by Swab's when county dispatched Box 216-1 for a field fire on Creek Road. I pulled the portable radio out from behind the seat and turned it on and to channel 1. I then flipped the lights on and turned the siren on. We went responding as soon as they were done dispatching. We made our way up the Eville mountain and then headed towards the scene. Jason and Dave got there first and Dave dropped Jason off and headed to the station to grab the Engine. We pulled in next and Jason told us to park by the field. He told us to grab two indian tanks and the indian rakes. Jason climbed in the back and handed me out a indian tank and while he was doing that I handed Jason a indian rake handle and brought a second one out. I then put the indian tank on my back and then Jason grabbed one for himself and then me and Jason went to the head of the fire and knocked it down to keep it from spreading any further. Bruce and Keith then showed up in the Tanker with Dave right behind them. Jason pulled off the trash line and then he told me and Jason to go take a rest. Bruce ran CAFS through the line and then Jason started hosing down the field and me and Jason took our indian tanks off. Brush 29 then showed up and they started hosing down the burn pit. We were out for little over 30 minutes. We then ran Dave back up to the farm since Jason was talking to forestry. We then ran into town to hang posters up. We then headed back to the station. Bill was there and Jason got his gear out and went home to get some more sleep. Jess then came up and her and me washed the Utility. Andy and Troy then showed up and they pulled the Tanker out and started washing that and then Robby showed up. I then grabbed a beer and relaxed. They then quickly went over the Engine. After we were doen washing the Utility, Jess ran down to the house to take a shower and then came back up. Helen and Kenny then came down and then LeeAnn showed up. I then ran home and brought my badge back up to the station since Troy needed to borrow it for the night. I then put the pressure washer away and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then ate dinner. I 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.
