Another Fire Call
I went to bed last night around 01:00 hours and woke up this afternoon around 13:40 hours. As I was laying in bed debating weather to get up or to go back to sleep, the fire pager went off at 13:46 hours for smoke in a structure in Halifax Borough. I got up and started getting dressed and yelled "FIRE" so my father could hear. I heard him get up out of his chair and I finished getting dressed. I grabbed my wallet, cell phone and then headed out to the kitchen. My father had just finished getting his bunker pants on and was heading out to his truck when I grabbed my keys. As I ran towards my car, Ray went by. I got in my car and then headed up to the fire house. I got up there and LeeAnn was already there. I parked and as Ray was getting his gear on I ran inside and kicked my shoes off and ot my pants on. As I pulled my pants on I saw Ray get into the Engine. I then grabbed my jacket and helmet and ran out and got in the Engine. As I got in my father came down and I saw Troy pull in the alley. I got in the Engine and then my father got in and off we went. Troy then got in the Utility and Bubba saw Schoffstall pull in. I got my hood on and got my jacket zipped up and was about ready to put my air pack on when command held it to Company 29. We had gotten as far as Fetterhoff's church and we turned around and headed on back to the station. Dave was there when we got back and Schoffstall and Troy had their gear off already. We backed the Engine in and then I got out of my gear and then grabbed the clipboard out of the Engine and filled out the report. Myself, Bubba and Troy stayed and shot the shift and then all three of us left around 14:30 hours. Once at home I read the paper and then I got on the computer to update the website. I then got off to watch the race, but found out that they were still drying the track from the rain earlier. I then ate dinner and left around 17:15 hours and headed up to the fire hall for con-ed training tonight. That went good and I was home by 19:20 hours. When I got back they race had been red flagged. Partially due to a caution, and partially due to water seeping through some of the cracks in the track surface. So I decided to take a shower. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. The race has been red flagged again due to rain. I will be up late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
