More Calls with 13
Went to bed last night at 03:00 hours and got this morning around 11:30 hours. I got out of bed and got dressed and then ate lunch and read the paper. I left the house a little after 13:00 hours to head up to the fire house to start working on the Utility. I had just past Wil and Jody's house when the pager went off for an unknown problem in Halifax Township. I turned my blue light on and Bubba had just pulled from the alley when I rounded the turn. He waved me past him and I heard him yell "ICE CREAM!!!" as I drove by. I headed to Dohn's house and once there I parked and got in 13-2 nad off we went. We got there and got the lady loaded up and then took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we transferred out patient over, the charge nurse asked us if we would take a lady back up to SLV. We said we had to check with the Chief. So I called Scott and I told him that Dohn did not have a problem with it since the guy said that he had called everyone and no one was able to do it at the time. Scott said that if Dohn did not have a problem with it, it was ok. So we told the charge nurse and he told us where to go. We picked the lady up and I drove back up to SLV. We dropped the lady off and then Dohn asked me to swing by Medic 6 as he had some paperwork to sign. We were there for about 39 minutes and then we headed on back down through. I stopped at Dohn house and picked up my car and then headed into town. I stopped at the "Barn" and put my times in and then ran up to Giant and picked up a gallon of milk and a gallon of diet iced tea. I then headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then changed into street clothes and then headed on up to the fire house to start working on the Utility for the parade on Saturday. I got up there and Bubba, Robby, Tande, Troy, Jason and Kenny were all there. My father then pulled in and we stood outside for a little bit and talked. Bubba and Robin then left to go to a viewing over in Duncannon. Me and Jason then started working on the compartments of the Utility while my father and Kenny started working on the compartments on the Engine. Robby, Tande and Troy ran into McDonald's to get something to eat. While they were gone it started raining and my father backed the Engine in and I put the bay doors down, but cracked them to let some air in. Me and Jason did all of the outside compartments, the back and the cab of the Utility. I will be washing the Utility later this afternoon. My father left and then Troy left, followed by Robby and Tande. LeeAnn then showed up and then Bubba and Robin got back and Bubba came up to replace a few lights on the Engine and the Utility. Helen then came down and did the tires on both the Engine and the Tanker. Robby and Tande then stopped back in and we all sat around and talked. We all left there around 24:00 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
