Fireworks Injuries
I went to bed Tuesday night around 02:00 hours and I got up at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off Wednesday morning. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my camera and suitcase and took them out to the kicthen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 07:30 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I got there and Bruce was already there. I got out and we both went inside. I put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. I then clocked in and myself and Bruce did a rig check on 6-4. Tim then came in and then Steve came in. Tindell and Stutzman were the overnight crew. Tindell slept until almost 08:30 hours and then finally got up. The five of us then talked some. When I looked at the schedule, I noticed that Tommy was not coming in till 11:00 hours in Lykens. We called up to Lykens and Kathy said that Yeager was going to stay till 11:00 hours, because he then head to go testify at a deposition regarding a call in Dalmatia. Apparently someone is sueing Dalmatia Ambulance and one of their crew members. It was a very slow day. We left around 09:15 hours and headed up to Special Place to meet the Lykens crew to have breakfast. I had a side order of bacon and a side order of white toast. While we were there, I heard that the Lykens station was struck by lighting Monday night during the storms we had and that it had knocked out the internet to the whole building, and we think it might have fried the computer tower. The tones then went off for a hay field fire in Washington Township. We got in 6-4 and off we went. We pulled up just as Engine 21 was pulling up to the scene. You could see the column for about 1-1/2 miles out. It was hard for me to just stand there and not pull a line off of Engine 21 and head up into the field. After they got it knocked down, we talked to Mike Wertz and we went available on the scene. About 10 minutes later the tones went off for a fall victim in Washington Township. We went enroute. Once we got to the scene we got the lady loaded and took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. Once back at the station, I ate lunch. The tones then went off for breathing problems in Millersburg Borough. He took off. Tommy and Steve then headed up to Wal-Mart and bought meat to make hamburgers and they made cheeseburgers on the grill. Kathy and Tommy stayed down at Eville the whole day since they did not have any internet access up at Lykens. I had three cheeseburgers. Tim then got back and then Boyer had me set up the laptop and projector for con-ed. He then had me pull 6-4 out back and we played around with the wrench and fat stretcher. After Jim and Zack showed up (the only other 2 full times to show up besides the 5 of us on duty) we went out back again and played around some more. While we were doing that the tones went off for chest pains in Northumberland County. Tim took off in the squad and he ended up going to Geisinger with Dalmatia Ambulance. We then had the con-ed which was fireworks injuries. While we were doing that, the tones went off for breathing problems in Halifax Borough. Kathy and Tommy got in 6-7 and headed on down to Halifax. Tommy ended up going down to the hospital with Halifax. After con-ed I put everything away and then everyone left and it was just me there. I played some Guitar Hero. Kathy then came back and then left 20 minutes later to head on down to Halifax to pick Tommy up. I went back to playing Guitar Hero on her PS2. Tim then called me and told me he was on his way back. I asked him if he had grabbed anything for dinner and he said yes. I told him that I was going to run up to Koppy's and grab something to eat for dinner. I then headed back to the station and ate my popcorn chicken while I played Guitar Hero. I then laid down on the couch to take a nap. Tim woke me up when he got back and I went out and helped him restock. 6-7 then came back down so Tommy could finish his chart. Me and Tim sat down and watched the first episode of Season 4 of Emergency. Stutzman then came back from the Heigin's parade with 6-2. After the episode was over, Kathy, Tommy, and Stutzman all left. I then got back on the PS2 and played some more Guitar Hero. I finally went to sleep around 02:20 hours. The tones went off around 07:05 hours for a diabetic problem in Wiconisco Township. I reset the pager and went back to sleep. I woke up at 07:50 hours and got the stuff back on my belt and put my pillow away in my suitcase. Wertz then came in. I then filled out my time sheet and clocked out once John came in. I left there around 08:40 hours and headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I woke up this afternoon around 12:30 hours. I got out of bed and changed into street clothes. I then ate lunch and then read the paper. I then got on the PS2 and played some NASCAR 2008. I then got off at 17:40 hours and made and ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I am now getting ready to take a shower. I am then going 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.
