THE GIANTS WIN THE SUPER BOWL!!!

I went to bed Saturday night around 02:30 hours and was rocked out of bed around 05:25 hours when the fire pager went off. I sat up in bed and it was only for Chief 216 to call county. So I reset the pager and laid back down in bed. 3 minutes later the pager went off again for a public assist. I got out of bed and got dressed and I heard my father up and moving around. I then got in my car and headed up to the fire house. I pulled in and the Engine was already sitting out and I saw Robby getting in the officer's seat and LeeAnn's car sitting there. I got out and went inside and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on. As I was snapping my pants, county redispatched it as a class 1 now and I heard the breaker for the house siren trip and it started going off. When I came out, my father was there and I saw Jason come running around the back of the Engine towards the station. So I ran over to the Engine and LeeAnn was in the back and Bubba was in the driver's seat. I opened up the left jump seat door and asked Bubba if he wanted me to take the Utility and he said yes. So I closed the door and ran back into the station. Jason was getting his pants on and I popped the Engine day door and ran over to the Utility and unplugged it. Jason then ran over and got in the Utility with me and I pulled it out. I then saw Ray running towards the Engine and I saw him get in and I heard Robby put us responding with 2. We were apparently going to Pleasnt View Extension off of Nice Road to help lift a 4 wheeler off of someone. County upgraded the call to a class 1 because the guy said he was starting to have some problems breathing. We got to the road and Jean was already there for Fire Police. We got back there and just before we found him one of his buddies got the 4 wheeler off of him. Jason Faust was ahead of us and he pulled over and hopped on the back of the Utility. We were there for a little under 1 hour and then we headed on back. Once back at the station, we hung around and shot the shit. I left the station around 07:18 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my uniform for Medic 6. I then got my suitcase and took it out to the kitchen. I then got my lunch and Gatorade bottles together. I then left around 07:30 hours and headed in up to Lykens to go to work. I got there and parked and clocked in by 07:49 hours. John and Steppler were there as was Tim. I did a rig check and then talked to John and Steppler until they left. I then ate breakfast and then did my date checks on 6-8 and the cabinet's. I then sat down on the couch to watch Space Balls on TV. I then got up and went to the bathroom. While I was in the bathroom, I heard a call being dispatched on the fire channel and opened my fire pager up to here what it was for. About that time the pager went off for an accident with entrapment in Williamstown Borough. I quickly finished and then went out ot the bay and got in 6-8 and off we went. On the way up, fire confirmed negative entrapment, just confinement. We got up there and went over to the scene to see what was going on. There was one lady that they were in the process of strapping onto the backboard. Tim then said that he was going to go set up in the truck, so I went back and helped him load his gear into 24's bus. They then headed on down to Hershey. I headed back to the station. Once there I watched the end of Space Balls and then I hosed down 6-8. I then got on the computer to check a few things. I then ate lunch while I watched TV. Just before Tim got back, the tones went off fo seizures at the Keepler Home. 6-3 and 6-2 went enroute and they then updated it to a Cardiac Arrest. I quick called Tim to see where he was at and he said that he was just coming in to Lykens. County then said that the lady had a DNR order. Carl was on with 24 and he got back and I helped unload the gear. We had not heard anything from Jim, so we decided to head on down that way incase they needed help. We got there and they already had the lady in the back of 6-3. We jumped in and Jim was getting ready to put the lady on CPAP. Tim helped him with that and then he put an IV in the lady. They ended up going to Harrisburg. Tim then took the squad back to the Eville station and I drove 6-8. Once there I checked my supplies that had come in over the weekend and then I put in an order for some more supplies. I then watched some TV until they got back. Once they got back we talked for a little bit and then headed on back to Lykens. Once there Tim went to sleep on the couch and I sat down to look at some old run records from the fire company. I then ordered a pizza around 17:30 hours and then walked down and picked it up along with a soda and a bag of chips and went back to the station. Once back I turned the Super Bowl on and me and Tim ate while we watched the Super Bowl. Shortly after the game started the tones went off for an ALS call in Upper Paxton Township. Then about 10 to 20 minutes later, the tones went off again for a sick person in Washington Township at the PSP headquarters. We got to watch the whole game and the commercials. I was happy that the Giant won and knocked off the Patriots and kept them from having a perfect season. We were then watching House when around 22:20 hours the tones went off for a CVA in Hubley Township in Schuylkill County. That was our call, so I got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots back on and then went out and got in 6-8 and off we went. We got there and Heigins was the BLS company. They were loading the guy up when we pulled up. I moved Tim's gear over to the BLS bus and then I followed them up to Pottsville Good Sam. Once up there, I moved all his gear back over to our bus and then when he was done we left and headed on back. We stopped at Sheetz so Tim could get a cup of coffee and I got something to munch on and drink and then we headed on back to the station. While we were on our way back, we heard 6-3 go to Upper Paxton Township for chest pains. We got back around 01:30 hours. Tim then did his chart and I laid down on the couch and watched Mythbusters. I fell asleep at some point and woke up around 07:49 hours when I heard Jim coming barging in and talking loudly. I got up and put my stuff away, clocked out and then left around 08:30. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up some chocolate eggs for my grandparents. I then ran down to the Eville station and picked up my check and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into my PJ's and went to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 13:20 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch and read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played Leisure Suit Larry until 18:19 hours. I ate dinner while I played. I then left and headed on up to the fire house for the meeting tonight. I got there and Bubba and Robby were down in the station. I then went up to the hall and had a piece of Jess's cake and then we had the meeting. The meeting went good and then we had Firemen's relief meeting, and that was short, but not as short at the last time. Jess then showed up afterwards and I talked to her for a little bit and then she left and headed down to the house to tend to Jaz. Then myself, Troy and LeeAnn talked for probally about an hour and then we all headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
