Pump Ops Class, Day 2
I went to bed last night around 01:15 hours and got up this morning at 06:30 hours when my alarm went off. I got up and ate breakfast while I read the comics and sports section. I then changed into street clothes and me and my father got in his truck and we left around 07:05 hours and headed up to the fire house. We got there and LeeAnn was the only one there so far. Then around 07:23 hours I went in the station and opened up the bay doors. Robby was coming up from his house, Lonny pulled in and then Bubba came up in his car. Bubba was driving up himself due to having to go to work tonight. We then left and headed up to Millersburg. We got up there around 08:00 hours and we went into the meeting room and had a quick brief about what we were going to do and then we got back in the trucks and headed up to the parking lot where the Weis Store is. We hooked up to the hydrant and Engine 20-1 hooked up to the hydrant. We then used hose that Millersburg provided us and deployed a 100' 1-3/4" line with a fog nozzle on the end. We then each took a turn at the pump panel and we rotated out as the hydrant man, back up man on the line and then the nozzle man. We each went through two times as we were great on time. After everyone was done, we cleaned everything up and then headed to the pond on Rising Sun Road that is visable from Route 25. We set up for drafting procedures. We then each took a turn pulling a draft and flowing water through the deck gun. Of course when it was my turn, Bubba and Robby decided to make it difficult for me. They put the combination nozzle from the portable deck gun on the pre-piped deck gun and then set up the portable deck gun and flowed water through there. Once everyone got a chance, we broke everything down and then headed back to Millersburg's station. Once there they fed us pizza, chips and Guers Iced Tea again, which was good. We then left to head back to the station. We ran up to Shell in Halifax and got fuel and then headed back to the station. Once there my father backed the Engine in and then I put my gear away and then the Tanker got back and backed in. I then put the Indian Tanks back in the Utility and then me and my father headed on home. We finished up quite early today, we left Millersburg at 13:00 hours this afternoon. Once at home I relaxed some and then took a shower. I am now doing a few things online before I leave to go into work tonight.
