More Engine Driver
I went to bed last night around 02:00 hours and woke up this morning at 10:18 hours when my mother call the house like I asked her to. I got up and changed into street clothes. I the had something small to eat while I read the paper. I then left the house around 10:37 hours and headed up to the fire house. I got there and parked and went inside and the Tanker was gone. I called Bubba and asked him where he was at and he said that he was at Gonder's Grub House and asked me if I wanted anything to drink and I told him no thanks that I was ok. He then said that he ran the Tanker up to Swab's so they could take some pictures. Once he got back he put his gear on the Tanker. He then told me to put the pipe on the Engine as I would be taking that. So I put that on and then put my gear on the Engine also. He then showed me the paperwork he made up for the township meeting next Wednesday that he has to present regarding the grant we got for the squad. We then left to fill the first pool. We got there and I pulled in behind Bubba. We used all three sections of hose. Two to get to the pool and one from the Engine to the Tanker. When we finished they only need an Engine load. So Bubba helped me get out of the driveway and then sent me into the pump house. He then headed up to Shell to get fuel and said he would be out then. So I got to the pump house and hooked up and wrote everything down. Once I was done I back around so Bubba could pull in when he got there. Once he got there I helped him get hooked up and then we headed back to the station. Once there we dropped off the Tanker and then I put his gear on the Engine and then we headed back to the first pool. He had me run the pump and once we were done there, we headed back to the pump house to fill up. We then headed back to the station. Once there I pulled the Utility out so we could go over to Small Valley Road to look at a brush pile some lady wanted us to burn. While we were at the station, we got a call for another Engine load of water on Mountain House Road. We then headed over to Small Valley Road. Once we got there and saw where the brush pile was at, Bubba said we would not be able to do it, because of it being near woods and lots of leaves on the ground. We headed back to the station and I put the Utility away. We then got back in the Engine and headed out to this place on Mountain House Road and topped off their pool. We then headed back into the pump house to fill up. As we were heading in, it started to rain and then it started to pour. After we got filled up, we headed up to Millersburg. We went to Rife and topped off a pool there. While we were there, the tones went off for a lighting strike in Wayne Township. We got cancelled right away. We then headed into Eville and stopped at Shell and got fuel and then we headed into the pump house to fill up and then headed back to the station. Once there I got Kenny to help me unload the hose from the Engine and put it under the hose rack in the station. I then put my gear away and then headed on home to change. I then headed into town. I stopped at Sheetz and got gas and then went to Giant and got hot dogs and hamburgers for tonight. I then stopped at The Nook and got a six pack of Coors Light and then headed out to the fire house. Once there I put a pack of hot dogs on the rollers and made the burgers on Bubba's grill out front of the hall. It ended up being myself, Jess, Bubba, Robin, Troy, LeeAnn, Schoffstall, Katina, Angie, and the associated kids. Myself, Katina and Schoffstall played hand and foot while the others played another card game. We finished up around 23:30 hours and I left around 23:45 hours and headed on home. I am going to grab a quick shower and then am going to bed as I have to get up early tomorrow.
