Fire Prevention

I went to bingo last night around 18:00 hours. Bingo went good, we had 29 people play bingo. After bingo was over, we sat around and talked. I left there around 22:00 hours and headed on home. Once at home I saw that Sue had left me a few messages on my AIM that she needed someone to talk to. I gave her a call on her cell phone and we talked for a little over 1 hour before I feel asleep on the bed talking to her. I woke up about 10 minutes later and then finished my stuff online and then went to sleep around 02:00 hours. I got up this morning at 08:00 hours when my alarm went off. I got up and changed into street clothes and then ate breakfast and read part of the paper. I then left the house around 09:07 hours and headed up to the fire house. When I pulled in Robby, Tande, LeeAnn, Jason, Bill, House and Michelle were already there and Jean pulled in behind me. I went inside the station and grabbed my gear and put it in the back of the Utility. Lyle then showed up and then all we were waiting on were Bubba and Robin. They showed up and Jason put his gear in the back of the Utility and so did Lyle. Lyle drove the Engine with Bubba up front and House, LeeAnn amd Robin in the back. It was me and Jason in the Utility and Robby and Tande in the Tanker. Bill, Jean and Michelle drove over themselves. Since it was raining out, we had to do the program inside the multi-purpose room. So Bubba had us pull the rigs around back, with them facing the building. Everyone then took their gear inside except for me, since I was going to pack up. They then took a few tools inside to show the kids while I geared up and then House and Jason helped me get my pack on. I then waited outside until they motioned for me to come in. I then went and walked around so the first greaders could see me and then Bubba said I could take it off. House and Jason then helped me get the pack off and then I stood and listened to Bubba and Jean talk some more. It then had stopped raining long enough for us to take the kids outside to see the trucks, However after we got most of them outside, it started to rain again, so we hurried them around so we could get them back inside. They then cleared out and then we put everything back on the trucks since the kids needed to eat lunch in the room. We then decided to go over to Gunder's Grub House for lunch. Jason said that he forget his wallet and I told him that I would run him back to the fire house. I called Bubba and told him that we would be up after I ran Jason back for his wallet. Once at the fire house, Jason told me that he had to run home and grab his wallet and he would be back. I told him I would wait for him. He got back and we then ran up to Gonder's and ate lunch. We then headed back over to the Elementary School and parked out back again. The kids were still eating lunch when we got there, so we waited outside and me, Jason, Robby, Lyle, House and Jean talked about stuff that had changed at the school since we had gone there. We then did the second program at 13:30 hours and it was the Kindergardener's. I again packed up and went inside and walked around. Lyle had helped me get my pack on and House helped me take it off. I then switched the cylinder out with a new one and the put the pack away and went back inside. We then brought the kids out for them to look at the trucks and then Bubba had Bill take a group picture of the kids in front of the trucks. They then left and we packed everything up and then headed back to the station. Bill, House, Jason, and Lyle all left as soon as they got back as Jason and Lyle had to work tonight and House had to get home and Bill ran him home. Me, Robby, Tande and LeeAnn then sat around and shot the shit and waited for Bubba to come back up. He came back up and we shot the shit some more and then I left and headed on home. I just finished eating dinner and am getting ready to take a shower and then head up to Medic 6 to work a reverse 24 hour shift.
