Went to bed last night around 02:30 hours and got up this morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my lunch and Gatorade bottle and then left the house around 07:25 hours and headed up to Eville for work. I got up there and parked and went inside and Bowser was there. He had stopped in to grab a cup of coffee before heading up to Lykens. When I walked in, he told me that my truck had just arrived at Harrisburg Hospital. Bowser then left and a few minutes later, Wendy walked in. I then clocked in and got on the computer to check a few things. Ron then came in and then Steve came in. Steve told me that Zach would be inm late, but he would be in before I had to leave. Bowser then called down and said about making breakfast. Me and Ron did not care so he said he would be down shortly. I then ate breakfast and then we were standing around talking, when the tones went off for a call in Schuylkill County. That was the Lykens crew's and they took off and ended up getting cancelled while enroute to the scene. While they were gone, UPS showed up and dropped off some packages. By this time 6-5 had come back and Steve had myself and Yeager care the boxes out to the med room. We then started unpacking them and the next thing I know I heard Steve swearing. Here they sent him for cases of of Aspirin, instead of just 4 bottles. We then finished putting the stuff away and then the Lykens crew left. I then sat down on the couch to watch some TV. Ron sat down on the other couch and fell asleep while we were watching TV. I then ate lunch at 12:30 hours. Somewhere in there the tones went off for chest pains in Lykens Borough at Don's Food Rite. Then around 12:51 hours the tones went off for breathing problems in Upper Paxton Township. Me and Ron got up and got in 6-3 and off we went. We got there and we went into the house and then he got in the back of 20-1 and they took him down to the hospital. By the time that they left the scene, it was 13:20 hours. I decided to head back to Eville and then send Zach down to puck Ron up. I decided to run up to Shell and got fuel since we were done to 1/4 of a tank. I got fuel and then went back to the statiom. I clocked out at 14:05 hours and headed on home. I stopped by the township building and voted and then headed on home. Once at home I read the paper and then ate lunch while I was on the computer doing a few things and watching MASH on TV. I left the house around 17:20 hours and headed on up to the fire house. Once there, I loaded my gear in to the cab of the Utility along with the air pack and spare cylinder that I pulled off of the Tanker for tonight. Once I got everything on the Utility, I pulled the Engine out and then the Utility and then backed the Engine back in. I then stopped at Shell and got a Gatorade and then headed on down to HACC. Class went good, we did an SCBA Inspection, the 60 second donning drill. On my third try I did it in 59.9 seconds. We then changed out cylinders that needed to be changed and we packed back up and walked around the parking lot and up into the drill tower to see how long it would take us to suck our cylinder dry. After we were done, we refilled the cylinders and got stuff cleaned up and loaded back into the Utility. I then headed on back home. I stopped at Shell and got fuel and then headed on back to the station. Once there Lonny pulled the Engine out and I backed the Utility back in and then he backed the Engine in. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am extremly tired.
