Firefighter 1 Written Exam

I went to bed last night around 03:00 hours and was rocked out of bed this morning around 12:00 hours when the fire pager went off for a natural cover fire, now reported out in Jackson Township. I got out of bed and got dressed and then jumped in my car and headed up to the fire house. Alf went responding and said he thought it was a 29-2 box due to how the caller was giving information to county. It ended up actually being a 216-1 box. I followed Ray up there and we pulled in together and I ran inside and kicked my shoes off and got my pants on and grabbed my jacket and helmet and headed over to the Engine. Lonny already had the Engine pulled out and Troy was already there also. As I was heading out to the Engine, Schoffstall was coming into grab his gear. I got in and then Schoffstall got in and Troy said about Jason coming also. I said that Ray was here also and Troy said to hand Jason's gear out. Brush 29 then went responding and Alf held the Box to Brush 29 and placed everyone else in service. Everyone slowly started leaving and then I went over a few knots with Troy and Lonny. I then headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and read the paper. I then had my mother quiz me on questions for the Firefighter written test tonight. I then left the house at 16:45 hours and headed up to the fire house. Troy took his truck down and Bubba, LeeAnn and Lonny went with him. I drove down and Robby went with me. We all stopped at Shell and I got something to drink and munch on and then we continued on down to HACC. We got down there and then got situated in the room and the guy from HACC went over what was all going to happen. I think I did well on the written test. We then all talked once we were done and then left and headed on home. Once back at the station we talked some more about the questions on the test. I then left and headed into town. I ran up to Sheetz and grabbed something to eat for dinner. Matt Smith was there with 6-3 waiting for Tim to get back. After I came out I talked to both Matt and Tim as Tim had just gotten back from running a call with 20. I then stopped at Giant and picked up 3 bottles of Gatorade and a small jar of peanut butter to make a few sandwichs for tomorrow. I then headed on home. I am soon going to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow.
