Finally a Fire Call

Went to bed last night around 02:45 hours and got up this afternoon around 12:35 hours when Bubba called my cell phone to ask me a question. I then got up and ate lunch and read the paper while I watched All My Children on TV. I then went back to my bedroom and read Chapter 16 Rescue Procedures from my Essentials Book and did the Chapter 16 section in the workbook. I then did a few more things on the christmas party project. I then emailed it off to Bubba. I then opened my final ebay item that I bought which was the 175th Anniversarry Book from Halifax from back in 1969. I was looking through that. Sue got ahold of me and asked me if I could be her partner tonight from 6 to 7 and I said that was not a problem. She told Carol and Carol said I could cover from 17:30 to 19:30 hours until she goes on to cover for Amanda. Then arond 15:40 hours the fire pager went off for assist Chief 216 with extinguishing a controled burn. I got socks and a t-shirt on and then grabbed my pants and got them on and then put my shoes on and grabbed my keys and got in my car and headed up to the station. I got there and Robby and Bubba's vehicles were already there. Bubba was walking back out to his vehicle in his bunker pants when I parked my car. I got out and went inside and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on. Robby then came in and pointed at me and then the Tanker. I shook my head and finished getting my bunker pants on. Meanwhile Kenny had come in and so did Jason Faust. Jason and Kenyy started getting there gear on, I then saw Dave walk by and then Jason came in and got his gear on. I got in the Tanker and put us responding. Jason, Jason, Dave and Kenny got in the Engine and went responding and on scene and then I put us on scene. We pulled the trash line off of the Tanker and I was on the nozzle and Jason Faust was my back up. We extinguished the fire and then Bubba had Jason and Kenny grab pike poles off of the Engine and pull the pile apart and then we put foam on the pile. We then repakced the trash line and then headed back to the station. Once back there I heard my cell phone beeping and it was a missed call from Sue. So I called her back and she told me what Carol said. I then talked to Bubba and Jason for a little bit and then we all left and I headed on home. On the way home I called LeeAnn and told her about the call. I then went to take a shower once I got home and LeeAnn sent me a text that she had just gone by the place and he was still burning. I took a shower and then asked my father if he had seen any smoke when he came home and he said that he saw someone burning. I told him that we had just put that out about 45 minutes ago. So I got dressed in my uniform and my father got dressed and I went up and drove by the place and the guy was out back standing by the pit burning again. I went down to the public sale and told Bubba and him and me walked back up to the fire house and got in his car. My father was still at the fire house and said he was going to drive down also. Bubba stopped at the fire house and picked up a copy of the township burn ordiance. We then drove over to the place and the guy was gone again. So we went back to the fire house and Bubba made a few phone calls to try and find out who owns the garage and the property. LeeAnn then came up to the fire house and we decided to take the Tanker down and put the fire out again. We all got our gear on and I put my EMS pager to vibrate. LeeAnn pulled the trash line off this time and my father backed her up. They extinguished the fire and then put CAFS on it again. We then repacked the trash line. While we were doing that, Bubba put yelloow fire tape around the thing that the guy was using as his burn pit to kind of let him know that we had been there again. We then went back to the fire house and put the Tanker away and I took my gear off again and then we all left and I headed on home. Once at home I ate dinner and got on the computer to do a few things. I went off duty around 19:48 hours and then Bill came over and picked up his camera. I am now soon going to go get a light snack. I am also 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.
