Fun with the Eville Guys

I went to bed Monday night around 02:30 hours and woke up Tuesday morning around 11:20 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played some GTA Vice City Stories. I then got off and headed up to the fire house around 14:30 hours. Once up there I went to work in the back of the old fire house. I moved the match light to on top of of the second skid of charcoal. After I moved some more things around, I moved the yellow booster reel out and then started putting stuff back in the corner. Bill had showed up and was watching me. I had him help me move some long pieces of PCV pipe so I could get the red booster reel out. I then got everything out away and then cleaned up both booster reels and then got pictures of them. I then went to work tearing apart two amplifiers. I then left up there around 19:20 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a quick shower. I then changed into my uniform and then grabbed my suit case and took it out into the kitchen. I then grabbed my Gatorade bottle and left around 19:36 hours and headed on up to Eville to go to work. When I left I called Jo-Jo's and ordered a large cheese pizza. I stopped and ran into Koppy's and got a half gallon of Guers Orange Drink and then picked up my pizza. I then headed to work. I got there and clocked in at 19:58 hours. I then checked on supplies and put an order in. I then did a rig check on 6-7. Tim was playing GTA IV on his xbox while I ate dinner. He then had 3 slices while we watched an episode of Emergency. He then went back to GTA IV while I did a few things. Then around 24:00 hours the tones went off for an accident with entrapment in Washington Township. It was a Lykens crew call, but I told Tim that we should head up anyway to assist. So we got in 6-7 and off we went. We got there and the car was laying on it's roof and the witnesses said the guy crawled out and took off. The one guy found him sitting in his front yard. We helped the crew from 6-5 get the guy on a backboard and loaded into the back of the ambulance and then they left and headed to Geisinger. As they were leaving the wires from the pole that the guy sheared off arched and the light show lasted for a little bit before it blew the transformer. Me and Tim stayed on the scene until the car was gone and PP&L showed up. We then headed on back. I stopped at Koppy's and Tim got a cup of coffee and something to munch on and then we headed back to the station. Once there we restocked the backboard and extrication supplies that we used and then Tim got back on the xbox. Then around 02:05 hours the tones went off again for a structure fire in Elizabethville Borough. Me and Tim got back in 6-7 and off we went. We went on the scene first with nothing showing on side A. Buubba then called me as I was getting out of the truck and he asked me what Eville had and I told him I was there and would call him back then. Fred then pulled in with the Tanker. The owner was talking to Tim and took him around back and inside to show him that it was a furnace malfunction. Tom then came over and said hi to me and told me to go start knocking on doors. I asked the one resident if everyone was out and he said that no one answered from Apartments 2 and 4. So I went up to the second floor and got the residents of apartments 2 and 4 up and had them evecuate from the structure. I then took a peak inside apartment 3 and there was a light smoke condition in there. I went back outside and told Tom of this and he sent a crew in to check it out. There neded up being no fire and we went available around 03:00 hours. Tim had me stop at Koppy's again so he could get another cup of coffee and then we headed on back. I then did a tripsheet for the fire call and Tim put his xbox away and then we got talking. I finally went to sleep around 04:00 hours. I woke up around 07:05 hours when the tones went off for a BLS call in Williamstown Borough. Stutzman and Enders were there and clocked in early and took the call. They ended up being canceled. I then got up and put my pillow away and got the stuff back on my belt and put my suitcase in my car. When 6-7 got back I grabbed my scope and then clcoked out at 08:05 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my dress uniform and headed up to the fire house around 09:20 hours. Bubba got there around 10:00 hours and we got in the Tanker and headed on down to Fetterhoff's Church. We got there and went into the viewing and then stayed for the service. We got out of there around 12:15 hours and headed back to the station. Once there Bubba left to headed on down to Maryland and I headed on home. Once at home I changed into street clothes and then ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played some GTA Vice City Stories. I got off and ate dinner and then headed up to the fire hall for bingo. Bingo went goof and afterwards, myself, Bubba, Katina and Troy headed down to the fire house and shot the shit for a little bit. I then showed Bubba the old fire house and we talked about a few things and then he headed on home. I then left a few minutes later and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and I am soon going to bed as I am tired.
