Santa on the Engine

I went to bed Saturday night around 02:00 hours and got up at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then got my suitcase out and then got my lunch and Gatorade bottles together. I then got in my car and left and headed up to Eville to work. I got there and 6-3 was already out on a call. I parked and took my stuff inside and then I clocked in. I then ate breakfast while I checked a few things online. I then went out back and started up 6-5 to make sure it would run incase we needed to use it until 6-3 got back. Pam then showed up and then I started on labeling the BLS Room so that I could get the new master list up on the wall. That took a good part of the morning to get done. While I was doing that, 6-3 got back and I got Kuntz to keep the door to the Med Room propped open so I could get into it then and start working on the new master list for in there. After I was done in the BLS Room, I went into the Med Room and started on the list in there. I took a break around 12:00 hours when me and Pam met the Lykens crew at Jo-Jo's for lunch. While we were there, the tones went off for a fall victim in Pillow Borough, for ALS only, and Northumberland 62 for BLS. Kuntz went responding and then after about 7 minutes, the tones went off again for us in place of 62. Me and Pam got up and went out to the unit and she went responding and right after we did that, we heard 62 go responding no Northumberland Med. So I turned off the lights and went around the block and parked out back and we went back inside and ate lunch. After we were done with lunch, we headed on back to the station and I went back to work in the Med Room. I finished the list by mid-afternoon and then I typed it up on the computer. I then checked a few things online while I ate dinner. Wertz then came in about a half hour early so he could get a shower. Tommy also came in as he was precepting tonight with Wertz and me. The tones then went off for a sick person in Halifax Township. Tommy jumped on with Kuntz to take the call. About 5 minutes later, the tones went off again for chest pains in Halifax Borough. Then about 10 seconds later the tones went off again for breathing problems in Wiconisco Township. I went back to the men's bunkroom and knocked on the bathroom door and asked Wertz if he was done yet. He told me to go make sure there was gear on the truck and then to put us responding, which I did while he got dressed. I ran him down to the scene and he went down with 13-2. I then ran back out to the fire house to see who all went on the tree down call that Bubba called me about earlier in the evening. I then ran back to Sheetz and waited for them to get back. 13-1 stopped to get something to drink while I was waiting for 13-2 to get back and Amanda and Alf talked to me for a little bit. They got back and I moved the gear over and then Wertz ran in to get something to eat and then we headed back to the station. Once back, I helped Wertz restock and then I checked a few things on the computer. We then wactehd Full Metal Jacket until 01:25 hours and then I went to bed. I got up at 08:06 hours and I got my stuff on my belt and put my pillow away and then talked to Steve a little bit when he came in. I left then and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then went to bed to get some more sleep. I got up this afternoon at 11:45 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes and then I ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the computer to do a a few things. I then left the house at 15:45 hours and headed up to the fire house so we could get the Engine and the Utility ready for Santa tonight. I got there and Troy, Kenny, Katina, and LeeAnn were already there. I took my stuff inside and then Bill showed up and we exchanged gifts. We got the chair on the top tf the Engine and they got the speakers on top of the Utility and Troy set the sound system up in the Utility Robby then strong lights on the Engine and then I got changed and we left around 17:30 hours and made our rounds. We got finished around 21:20 hours and after we got fuel, we headed on back and tore everything down and I changed and then we sat around and talked for a little bit and then we all left. I ran Sue and Amanda's gift's over to their house and put them in the front of the ambulance and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am now soon going to bed as I am tired.
