Many Calls During My 24

I went to bed Saturday night around 02:30 hours and got up Sunday morning at 07:10 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my suitcase and digital camera and took them out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I left the house around 07:25 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I quickly ran up to Wal-Mart and got a new watch since I broke mine on Saturday morning at the fire hall. I then headed back to the station and parked. Bruce was already there and got out when I got there. We went inside and I clocked in and put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge. Bruce then went out to start a rig check and I then came out a few minutes later. I then turned the Olympics on and we watched it for a little bit while I ate breakfast. Bruce then said about going to eat breakfast and we all agreeded on Burger King. I let Bruce driver up there to get some driving time in. After we ate dinner, we headed back while Tim headed up to Lykens to pick up a few things from his place. Once back at the station, it was back to watching the Olympics. Tim then came back and went back into the Men's bunk room to get some sleep. We were sitting there when we heard a knock on the bay door. I went out to the bay and there were two guys standing there, and one had a fish hook in his one index finger. He asked us what to do and we told him that we coulnd't pull it out and that he would have to go to the hospital. He thanked us and then they both got in the car and left. We went back in and sat back down and then around 12:30 hours the tones went off for a phsychiatric problem in Washington Township. We got in 6-4 and off we went. It was the same lady that me and Bowser had back in June. We staged and then PSP said we could go in and we headed in and they were walking her out to the ambulance. We got her in and then headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed there, we headed on back to Eville. Once there we asked Tim, who was sleeping again if he wanted to do anything for lunch and he said no, so we got back in 6-4 and headed up to Jo-Jo's and ate lunch. I had 4 slices of chesse pizza. After we were done, we headed on back to the station. When we got back, Tim and 6-1 were gone. We couldn't figure out where he went. We went back to watching some more of the Olympics on TV. Then around 17:20 hours the tones went off for a pedistrian struck in Millersburg Borough. Tim headed on down that way in 6-1 and they ended up going to Hershey. About 20 minutes later the tones went off for a CVA in Eville Borough. We were going to let 6-5 handle until Tracey called down to see if we were going to head to the scene until they got there and I said yeah we would. We got there and it was the same guy that we had last month. He ended up refusing to be transported to the hospital. 6-7 left and headed back to Lykens. We left and had gone only a block and the tones went off again for a fainting just 2 blocks down from us. We headed down there to again stabilize. We got there and stablizied and once 6-7 got there we helped them get loaded up and then they headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital. We then headed on back to the station and sat down to watch some more Olympics. I then emptied the trash cans around 19:30 hours and then I had Bruce help me take the dumpster out front. Audrey then left and then Bruce left after we talked for a little bit. Tim then got back and I told him that Wertz had called to see about doing something for dinner. Tim called him just as Stutzman and Tracey got back to restock. They then headed up through and then we waited for 15 minutes and then headed up to Burger King for dinner. We ate dinner and then headed back to the station. We walked in and the tones went off around 22:30 hours and it was for Breathing Problems at SLV in Upper Paxton Township. We walked right back out into the bay and got back in 6-4 and I put us enroute. County came back and said thay the nurse requested an extra wide stretcher. So I pulled f oward a little bit and we got out and took the stretcher out and then we loaded the big boy stretcher in and the ramps and went on our way. We got there and I helped take the stretcher in and then I went back out to get the ramps set up. I moved 20-1 out of the way and backed our ambulance in and then set the ramps up. I then got the winch out and set it up and went to plug it in to give it power, and the cabinet door was locked, I searched high and low for a key, even checking all the keys on the key ring, an no key. So I put it away and went back in to help them move her over. I went in and told Tim that we didn't have a winch. They had just gotten her loaded on the stretcher. So I grabbed gear and took it out and then we pushed her up the ramps and then I took the ramps off and put them away and then got in the back to help Tim where I could. We then headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital, class 2. After we got what we needed down there and cleaned up, we headed on back. We stopped at Sheetz so Tim could get a cup of coffee to drink. Lyle was there with the milk truck and I talked to him for a little bit in the store. We then ran Randy back up to Millersburg as Tim asked him to go along incase anything happened and he would need help. From there we went back to the station and we switched stretcher's out and then I helped Tim restock his supplies. I then say down and ate my lunch while I watched Men's Water Polo on TV and the USA beat Germany. I then went to sleep around 03:10 hours and woke up at 07:45 hours when the alarm on my watch went off. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and then put my pillow away. Jim then came in and then the phone rang and I answered and it was Beef saying he was going to be about 5 minutes late, but he was listening incase we got any calls. John then came in and clocked in and I gave him a quick report on 6-4 as he walked out to the bay. Beef then pulled in and the tones went off for an accident with injuries in Upper Paxton Township. I got up and went to the door and said to Beef "Well you can tell your here" and chuckeled. He then started cursing a little and then started walking over. 20-1 then asked county to dispatch a medic from 6 for meet them at the Halifax High School. Beef got on the air and put him responding to that and MICU 6-3 to the accident. I then clocked out and got in my car and headed on home. Once at home I changed into my pj's and went back to bed to catch up on some of my sleep. I woke up this afternoon at 15:30 hours. I got up and read the paper and then ate lunch while I got on the computer to get some things ready for the meeting at the fire hall. I then left the house around 17:50 hours and headed up to the station. Bill was already there and was making up flyers on the computer at the station. LeeAnn then pulled in and we headed up to the hall and talked about a few things. Kenny then came in and we talked about a few things. The meetign went good, and did not last as long as I thought it would, considering that Bubba was there tonight. We talked afterwards about a few different things and then everyone left around 21:20 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and am soon going to bed as I am tired.
