Two Shed Fires in Two Days

I went to bed Monday night around 02:30 hours and got up Tuesday morning around 11:00 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then got on the PS2 to play a game of college football. At 15:40 hours, the fire pager went off for a shed fire on Deitrich Road in Jackson Township. I pasued my game and ran over to my room and got dressed and then got in my car and took off for the fire house. I got up there and pulled in and my father was closing his tailgate. He went over and tried to get in the station and the front door was locked. He said that they ran inside and never opened a bay door. I unlocked the back door and went in. Robby, Matt Hamilton, and Kenny were getting gear on and I yelled to Kenny for someone to open a bay door so my father could get in, which he did. I then kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and then grabbed my jacket and helmet and went around to the front of the Tanker. Robby was trying to get ahold of Bubba to find out what he wanted to go out the door first. Meanwhile I took my glasses off and my hearing aid out and put them in my glass case and got my hood on and zipped up my jacket. Robby then said that Bubba wanted the Tanker to go out the door first and he told me to get in. I got in and we took off. While on our way to the scene, I got my mask on awhile. We knew that Eville was going to beat us to the scene, especially with it being a 3 box. Chief 21 got on the scene and held the box to us and his company class 1. We got there and Robby said about me wating to get a ride up the driveway on the Engine. We got there and it didn't look that far up the driveway and I told him I would walk up. I got out and told him to help me get the air pack on, which he did. I then grabbed the multi-purpose hook off the back of the Tanker and started up the driveway. About halfway up the driveway, I had to stop as it was longer then I originally thought it was. I then contiuned on up the driveway and over to the shed. The Engine pulled up about 3 minutes later. The boys from 21 had already got a good knock on the fire by the time we got there. We then helped the guys from 20 with overhaul and wetting down the debries removed from the shed. We were on the scene for a little over 1-1/2 hours. After we cleaned everything up and I put my air pack back on the Tanker and my pike pole back on the Tanker we left and headed up to the Shell in Eville to get fuel in the trucks. After we were done there, we headed back to the station. Once there I switched cylinders on my air pack and cleaned my mask and out it away. I then shot the shit for a little bit and then left and headed on home as I had to get cleaned up and eat dinner before heading up to work. Once at home I took a shower and then ate dinner. I left the house at 19:30 hours and headed up to Eville to go to work. I stopped at Koppy's and grabbed something to munch on that night. I then headed down to the Eville station. I got there and parked and went inside and clocked in. Brian and Wertz were there and Tim was back in the men's bunk room sleeping. I did a quick rig check and then filled out my paperwork and looked at September's schedule. I called Steve right away and left him a voicemail that I was not happy with the schedule, minaly that I didn't have PTO and I was in Eville for the whole month of September and I wasn't with Tim. I then checked supplies and put an order in. John and Bowser then showed up and asked us about pagers. We found them on and then they left and headed up to Wal-Mart. Just before they showed up, I had tried to put a DVD in the DVD player and it finally took a crap on us. So we ran up to Wal-Mart to buy a new DVD player. We then ran over to Burger King so Tim could get something to eat and then we headed back to the staton. Once there we got the DVD player set up and we sat down and watched an episode of Season 4 of Emergency. I then watched some Discovery Channel and then went to sleep around 02:00 hours. The tones went off around 03:30 hours for chest pains in Lykens Borough. I reset the pager and laid back down on the couch. Tim then came out about 5 minutes later and hit the couch and told me to get up. I asked him why and he said that it might become a code up in Lykens. I asked him to turn a light on so I could see my glasses laying on the table and then got the stuff on my belt and got my boots on. We then got in 6-4 and headed on up class 3. We got to Loyalton and they called it as a cardiac arrest. We went responding from Loyalton. We got up there and we helped Bowser and John in anyway we could and then Truck 22 got there and they helped carry the guy down and loaded him into 6-5 and off they went to Harrisburg. We headed back to Eville and once there we sat all of the supplies they were going to need out in the med room. I then laid back down on the couch and went back to sleep. Then around 05:00 hours, Bowser came in and asked me if we had gotten any Amidarone yet and I said no and I asked him if he got the supplies and he said yes and they left and I went back to sleep. Then around 05:30 hours the tones went off for a tree fire in Lykens Borough. I reset the pager and went back to sleep. I woke up this morning around 07:55 when the phone rang. I got up ahd got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on. I then put my pillow away in my suitcase. Then the Wendo-Matic brought my winter jacket back and laid it on the couch and went back up front where she belongs. I then took my stuff out to my car as Kathy pulled in. I went in and clocked out and then I talked to her for a little bit. She then got the swepper out and I took the trash out from the day room and put it in the dumpster. The tones then went off for a call in Millersburg. Tindell took the squad and headed on down. Then myself, Kathy and Steve went out back to talk, since we think the place is bugged. The tones then went off again for another call in Millersburg. 6-5 from Lykens took that one and then Kathy and Steve talked about going for breakfast before they got a call. I then got in my car and headed up to Wal-Mart. Once there I got two pairs of sneakers and then headed on home. Once at home I changed into pj's and went back to bed to get some more sleep. I got up this afternoon around 13:22 hours. I got out of bed and ate lunch while I read the paper. I then went into the bathroom around 15:10 hours to use the toilet. Around 15:25 hours the fire pager went off for a shed fire (again) on Bitting Road in Halifax Township. I quickly finished my business and ran over to my room and got dressed and then got in my car and headed up to the fire house. I got there and the Tanker was sitting out and it had the turn signal still on. I parked my car and went in the back door. Kenny was at his stall and when I came in he said good, at least your here. I asked him who else was here and he said Troy and him and now me. He then went over and got in the right jump seat of the Engine. I then kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and grabbed my jacket and helmet and went over to the Engine and got in the officers seat. Troy then pulled the Engine out and stopped and said he was going to wait till after the second dispatch. I took that time to take my glasses off and my hearing aid out and put them in my case and put the case on the dash board. I then got my hood on and my jacket and then zipped my jacket up and then undid the air pack. They then hit the second set of tones and I put us responding and off we went. I finished putting my pack on and then grabbed a mask and got that on and then my helmet. Meanwhile Tom was on the radio and told county that he had a good thermal column from about a mile out and to go ahead and started the first alarm awhile. We got almost to the scene and we called in for an assignment. Tom told us to back up the driveway incase we needed to lay out to the road with 5 inch hose. We got there and just as we started backing up the driveway, Tom called us and told us we could drop our packs and that he wanted another line pulled off of Engine 29-1 and to the Bravo side to wet down the field behind the shed and the tress and brush beside the shed. I got up there and grabbed a line off of Engine 29-1 and headed around back. Meanwhile, Tanker 29 dropped their port-a-pond in front of the Engine and hard suction was pulled off and then 100' of 2-1/2" was pulled off and hooked up to Engine 29-1 and Troy drafted and supplied Engine 29-1 with water. Meanwhile back at the nozzle, Sammy originaly backed me up and then the water pressure dropped. Special K then came back and once we got water supply again, he backed me up on the line. After about 10 minutes of this, we lost water pressure again. I set the line down and went and talked to Charlie and he said that our Engine might be having a problem keeping a draft. So I walked down to Troy who was at the pump panel and he would get a draft and then lose it. He finally got a good draft and then I went back up to the nozzle and continued to wet down stuff. I then took a break and went down to the Engine and took my jacket and helmet off and sat down. I took that time to call LeeAnn and harass her that she was missing another fire call and we talked for a few minutes. Steve then sent out a text message reminding people about the staff meeting. I called his cell phone and it went to voice mail, so I left him a message that I probally wasn't going to make the staff meeting due to be on thet fire call. Tom then called everyone up and he said he wanted to have everything wet down once more and then they were going to put a blanket of foam on everything. My father then showed up while I was doing this, as I had taken the one line from Charlie. We then wrapped everything up and broke their lines down and rolled them up and put them in the back of their utility. We then put everything of ours back on the Engine and after talking to Tom, we left and headed up to Shell to get fuel. Once we were done there, we headed back to the station. Once there I got out of my bunker gear and put it away. I then cleaned my mask and then Kenny filled the water can up and then I pressureized it. Lyle and Schoffstall (who were on the Tanker) then got back with the two pizza's and tea and we took a break. We then repalced the 100' of 2-1/2" hose and put the water can away. Troy and LeeAnn then took the Tanker out to fill a pool. Kenny went down to Bubba and Robin's house and Lyle put the Engine away and then the three of us talked for a little bit and then we all left to head on home. Once at home I ate dinner and then took a shower. I am soon going to bed as I am tired.
