Cardiac Arrest and Working Structure Fire

I left the house around 19:10 hours and headed on up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Shell in Lykens and picked up a soda and two popsicles. I got to the station and parked and went inside and saw that 6-7 was gone. I put my stuff in the fridge and then grabbed a pager and clocked in. Tim and Kathy then got back and Tim called down to Caio's and ordered dinner and then walked down and picked up his sub while me and Kathy talked. Tim had made the comment that Kathy ran all BLS calls all day long and Tim did not have any ALS calls at all during the day. Kathy left around 20:30 hours and headed on home. Me and Tim then sat down and I put Disc 1 of Season 4 of Emergency in the DVD played and we started watching an episode. Then around 21:05 hours the tones went off for a fainting at the Williams Valley High School. I grabbed my scope and fanny pack and got in 6-7 while Tim puffed on a smoke. I put us responding and county came back and said that it was now to be a cardiac arrest. Tim threw his cig out the bay door and grabbed the cell phone and laptop and jumped in the truck and I pulled out, shut the bay door and then we were gone. Once we got out of the borough and on Route 209, it was flat to the floor as we are only 8 miles I believe from the High School. We got there just behind Ambulance 24-1. I parked and Tim grabbed his med bag and I grabbed the monitor and we headed into the gym. The fact that it happened while the guy was playing basketball and that it happened at the school was a big boon to him. The bystanders at the gym grabbed the school's AED and and they shocked him once and they got a rythmn back on him. Tim started doing his thing and I started hooking the monitor up to the guy. Bowser and Bruce then came in and helped in any way that they could. Tim then had Captain Carol call for Life Lion and they landed in the field right in front of the high school, so the guy did not have to go far to get his ride. After Life Lion took off, we cleaned the gear up and then headed back. We stopped at Lykens and I grabbed my hat and something to drink and then we headed on down to Eville. Tim had me stop at Koppy's so he could get some more cigs and then we went to Eville. I checked supplies and restocked what needed to be restocked and put an order in. Bowser helped Tim restock his gear and then we left and headed on back up to Lykens. I stopped at Koppy's now and grabbed some chocolate milk and something to snack on for later on in the night and then headed back up to Lykens. Once there we finished the episode of Emergency that we were watching and then we started another episode. I ate my two popsicles while we watched the episode. Then at 00:49 hours the tones went off for a structure fire with possible enrtrapment in Williamstown Borough. About that time the house siren started going off. Tim ran out and grabbed his gear while I popped all three doors open. We both got in 6-7 and off we went. County advised us of multiple calls and that someone was still to be inside. County then came back and said thai it was possibaly a suicide attempt as the guy was supposed to be holding a gun. The one neighbor kicked the front door and and told the guy he had to get out and the guy told the nieghbor to leave and get out of there. We pulled in behind Ambulance 24-1 and I want to tell you what, the place was off and it was spreading to the exposure on Side D. I grabbed my camera and started taking pictures as I walked up to the front of the structure. Meanwhile you heard the live power line arching off the street and there was two of Williamstown's guys standing about 5 feet from the line. Tim ended up taking the mother from the other half of the duplex up to Pottsville on 24-1. 24-2 then took the daughter up to Pottsville. Once Tim got back we went available on the scene, but stayed to offer any help we could. The guy in the half of the duplex that was fully involved was of course dead. About an hour after we went available on the scene, the tones went off for breathing problems in Williamstown Borough. Me and Tim got in 6-7 and we took off for the scene. They headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital and I headed back up to the scene. It ended up being a second alarm fire. Along with us, Williamstown EMS and Williamstown Fire Company, the following fire companies were there: Wiconisco, Lykens, Eville, Millersburg, Berrysburg, Sheridan, Tower City, Muir, and Reinerton. Gratz stood by at Station 22. Joillet stood by at Station 24. Engine 29-1 and Perry Tanker 2 stood by at Station 21. Needless to say it was a long night and I never made it to bed last night. I left he scene around 05:30 hours and headed back to Lykens. I got there and the Gratz crew was there and we talked until Tim got back and then I helped him restock his gear. Gratz then got released and Truck 22 got back and he helped them clean stuff up. Shutlz then got in and I clocked out and then Tindell and the four of us talked. Before Tindell got there me and Tim also talked to both John and Jeff Shultz. I then got in my car around 08:30 hours to headed on home and the house siren went off for a rekindle already at the scene. It was held to Tanker 24 right after Truck 22 went responding. I then left and headed on down to Eville. Once there I got the times from the structure fire and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to try and get some sleep. I only ended up sleeping for 2 hours as I went to bed around 09:45 hours and was up around 12:45 hours. I got up and ate lunch and read the paper. I then changed into street clothes and downloaded the pictures from the fire last night and got them posted online and emailed to whoever asked for them. I then ate dinner and then headed into town to get iced tea and chips for me. I then stopped at the fire house and did my weekly med checks on the gear and then Bubba and Robby got back from the Township Meeting. They had taken the Utility up to the meeting. I talked to Bubba and then he put the Tanker away and I went down to there house as the kids came back from the store with fire works and asked if I would stay and watch them with them. I did and talked with Bubba and Troy and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am really tired.
