Glorified Oven Fire

I got to work last night and clocked in. 6-7 was out on a call and the second due truck was at the shop so there wasn't another unit at the station. So I decided to walk my 20 laps around the station and then I got on the computer to check my email and a few other things. 6-7 then came back and I did my rig check on it and then sat down to watch some TV while Ron was on his laptop. I went to bed around 01:00 hours and woke up around 06:00 hours when the tones went off for breathing problems in Jackson Township at our frequent flyer. I fell back alseep after I heard 6-3 go available with a refusal and did not wake up until 07:50 hours when Jim came in the station. Kathy then came in and I clocked out and we shot the shit for a little bit. I left there around 08:30 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then went back to bed to get some more sleep. I was rocked out of bed at 11:38 hours when the fire pager went off for an oven fire in Halifax Borough. I got out of bed and got dressed and grabbed my wallet, pager and my keys and got in my car and headed up to the station. I got there and parked and went inside and Bubba was not there yet. I turned the lights on and then kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on. Bubba then came in the front door and asked me what was due and I told him only the Engine. So then I grabbed my jacket and helmet and went over to the officers side of the Engine. I opened the door and then sat my helmet and jacket on the hood of the Utility. Bubba had already started the Engine and went back to get his gear on. I took my glasses off and my hearing aid out and put them in the case I carry and threw them on the dash of the Engine up front. I then put my hood on and then my jacket. I turned around to get in and Bubba was walking around behind the Utility looking for his helmet. I helped him look and found it in the driver's side compartment of the Tanker. I got it and handed it to him and then went over to get in the officers seat of the Engine when I saw Dave come in the station. So I got out and went to the back door and opened that up and I heard the driver's door close. I then saw Bubba walk arounf the front of the Engine and when I looked in I saw Jason sitting in the driver's seat. I got in and I heard Dave yell to me to slide over, so I slid over to the left jump seat and unbelted the air pack as we pulled out. I got my pack on and then got my mask on and was all dressed by the time we pulled in on Third Street. We all got out and me and Dave went over to Engine 29-1. Tom told us to go interior and then Dave had me grab a hook off of 29's Engine and then we went interior. When we walked in there was no fire in the kitchen, even thought PD had called a working fire and the full first alarm had been dispatched at this point. The hose line was leading away from the kitchen and upstairs. So me and Dave started up when I heard the hose crew yell for more hose, and Dave turned to me and told me to hump more hose for them. I handed him the hook and started humping hose and then Bubba walked in as I finished humping hose for them. We then went upstairs after I opened the front door. We were upstairs for a little bit and then we came back downstairs. We were downstairs for a little bit and then Bubba told me to go grab and axe. I went to the front door and was met by Tracey who came down with 6-3. I went over to Engine 29-1 and told Sam I needed a flat head axe. Bubba then came over and told her he needed a set of iron's. We got a set and went back inside. Tom then had Tracey put a vent fan outside of the side door for us to use then. Bruce then came out with the nozzle and the line and I was at the door and started pulling hose out the door until I saw the end of it and then I grabbed it and pulled the rest of it out of the house. We then found the breaker box in the rear bathroom on the first floor instead of in the basement and we turned the power off to the kitchen. We then vented and then started putting the equipment away. We then took our packs off and then went available after we talked to Tom. We stopped at Shell and Dave bought everyone's drinks and then we went to Station 29 to get our 3 cylinders filled. We then went back to the station and cleaned up the masks and put them away. Then myself, Bubba, Robby, Troy and Andy sat around and shot the shit. We all left around 14:40 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a few things. I then left the house around 17:30 hours and headed up to the fire house for bingo tonight. I left before half time and changed into my santa outfit and then handed out navels to the bingo players during half time. I then went back down to the station and changed back and came back up and called the second half of bingo. Myself, Bubba an LeeAnn then went down to the fire house and shot the shit while Bubba put in the reports. We then left around 23:30 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
