Working Garage Fire

I left the house around 19:25 hours last night and headed on up to Eville to work. I got there and parked and then went inside and clocked in. John and Tim were already there. I then did a rig check on 6-3 and went over the supplies. I then filled out my paperwork and checked a few things online. Me and Tim then sat down and watched 3 episodes of Emergency. After the second episode, we ran up to Koppy's so Tim could get something to eat. I grabbed a half gallon of Guers Orange Drink and a can of Pringle's and then we headed on back and watched the third episode. After that Tim then went and finished his chart and while I watched Ditry Jobs. I went to sleep around 02:00 hours and woke up this morning around 07:00 hours when Stutzman came in. I went back to sleep for a little bit and then got back up around 07:30 hours. I got the stuff back on my belt and then put my pillow away. I then clocked out at 08:04 hours and then headed on home after talking some with Stutzman, Tindel, and Tim. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed. I had just rolled over in bed around 12:15 hours when the fire pager went off for a structure fire in Halifax Township. I jumped out of bed and jumped in my jeans and socks. I left the t-shirt that I sleep in on and I put my shoes on and grabbed my wallet and pager and then my keys and jumped in my car. My mother was just coming home when I ran out of the door and she pulled past the driveway so that I could get out. I got up to the fire house and parked my car and ran inside. When I got inside I heard both trucks running. I got to my stall and kicked my shoes off and got in my bunker pants and then grabbed my jacket and helmet and went around the front of the Tanker. Bubba was putting his gear in the side compartment of the Tanker. I sat my helmet and jacket on the hood of the Utility and I asked him what was due and he said both trucks as they had just called a working fire. I then asked him what he wanted me to go on and he said the Engine. So while I was talking to him, I was taking my glasses off and my hearing aid out and put them in my case and threw them on the front dash of the Engine. I then put my hood on and when I turned around I saw Jason come walking over with his gear and get in the Engine. I then got my jacket on and zipped up. I then opened the officers door and asked Jason if Dave was coming and he said that he was going to the scene. So I jumped in and we pulled out and I grabbed a mask and got that on and then got the pack on. Jason then called Tom and asked him for and assignment and he told us to pull into the driveway and he wanted a line off and into the garage. He then went on the scene and said that they thought that they had the fire knocked down. We got there and pulled in and Scott was using a garden hose to wet down what he could. I then got out and got my gloves on and grabbed the tan line off of the Engine and stretched that into the garage as best I could. Dave then grabbed the Multi-Purpose Hook off of the Engine and was using that to rip out the wall while I wet the debries down. Ray and Dave then started ripping the ceiling down. We then dressed down and Tom started releasing units. We went available around 14:29 hours. Troy then parked his car at the gym and hopped on the Engine with us and we headed into town. We stopped at Shell and fueled up and I went inside and grabbed a half gallon of Guers Orange Drink, a 99 cent pack of Ritz Cheese sandwich's and a peanut butter egg and went back out to the Engine. We then stopped at Station 29 to wait for Tom to get back so that we could fill the cylinder that I had used. We then left and stopped at the pump house and topped off the tank. We then dropped Troy off at his car and headed back to the station. Once there we took the crosslay off and washed it and hung it up to dry. We also washed of the Multi-Purpose Hook and the Drywall Hook and put them back on the truck. Schoffstall had come back to the station and Bill was there also. Troy came back also and then we all sat around and shot the shit. Bill left first and then Schoffstall left. Myself, Troy and Jason all left around 16:40 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I changed shirts and ate dinner. I left the house around 17:30 hours and headed on up to Eville for the staff meeting tonight. That went good and after it was over I clocked out and headed back down to the fire hall for bingo. That went good also. After we were done, and a few of us talked for a little bit, I left around 22:25 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to go to bed as I am tired.
