Accident with Injuries

I went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and got up this morning around 11:30 hours. I got out of bed and changed into old street clothes. I then ate lunch while I read the paper. I then left the house around 13:00 hours and headed up to the fire house. I got there and parked and Troy, Katina, and LeeAnn were already there. We got talking and Katina said that her and LeeAnn were getting ready to paint the bottom of the one table in the station. So we went in and I watched them paint the bottom of the table. When I left the house it was just starting to rain. While they were painting, the rain picked up and they told me to go up to the hall and put a trash can under the leak in the roof, especially since the hall was rented for a birthday party. Troy then went up to the hall. He came back down and then Kenny came walking in shortly after him. Troy made the comment about heading home to get a shower and take a nap. Katina told him not to go to far as she was predicting that we would be getting a call. We were all standing by the front door of the station talking, as Katina and Troy were smoking. Katina and LeeAnn also made the comment about putting a second coat of paint on the table and then flipping it upside down incase we got a call and the Utility would need to go out. About 5 minutes later the tones went off for an accident with injuries, a vehicle into a pole in Jackson Township, in the area of Heim's Garage. I got to my stall and kicked my shoes off and grabbed my jacket and helmet and then ran over to the Engine. I had originally gotten in the officers seat and then I saw Bubba come running in and point to me to move back. I then got out and switched to the back seat. Bubba got his gear on and jumped in and off we went. We got to the scene and PSP was already there. We parked and I got out and went over to the van to check on the people. As I got out of the Engine, I yelled to LeeAnn to grab the med bag and bring it over. I checked on the driver and she was ok. I then saw my father coming up the road on foot and I told him to check on the boy on the passengers side while I checked on the girl on the drivers side. The kids were ok, the girl had some minor upper back pain and the boy had some minor abdominal pain, most likely where the seat belt went across. Engine 29-1 got there and then 13-2 got there. Scott was the first person from 13 there as he came in his truck to the scene. By the time we were done, he was soaked. The father then showed up and the parents decided to take the kids down themselves. We then stayed and helped the wrecked get the van on the roll back and then we headed back to the station. We then all talked and then Bubba left for work and Jean headed on home and so did my father. Troy then headed on home to get a shower, and Schoffstall left, leaving just myself, Kenny, Katina and LeeAnn. Katina then went over and painted in the red part. The three of them then headed into McDonald's to get something to eat. While they were gone, I put the second coat of white paint on the thermometer. They got back as I was getting ready to start cleaning up. I then sat in the station to dry off. We then moved up to the hall when the party was over and everyone left. Troy had come back by that point. I then left around 16:55 hours and headed on home to eat dinner. Once at home I ate dinner while I did a few things online. I then left at 17:55 hours and headed back up to the fire hall for my father's con-ed class tonight. After class was over I went back down to the old fire house to check on the thermometer. The red paint was still tacky, but the white pain was dry. Katina then took a look at it and we both agreed that two coats was all that we needed for the sign. We then went back over to the station and talked some more. We all left around 20:15 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and ate a light snack. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
