2 Fire Calls and a Quiet Night
I went to bed Monday night around 02:00 hours and was rocked out of bed Tuesday morning at 11:20 hours when my fire pager went off for a medical assist on Enders Road, class 3. I got out of bed and quickly changed into street clothes. I then grabbed my wallet, cell phone, pager and keys and got in my car and headed up to the fire house. I got there and parked and unlocked the station door and went inside. As I was going inside, I saw Bubba slowly walking up the alley toward the fire house. I went over and opened up the Engine bay door and then went over to my stall and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and then grabbed my jacket and helmet and headed over to the Engine and got in the officers seat. Bubba got in the driver's seat and he pulled the Engine out and told me to go ahead and put us responding. I put us responding with 3 for as we pulled out I saw Ray at the back of his car getting his gear on. He got in and off we went. Dave went to the scene and by the time we got there, they had already gotten the lady back up and onto a chair and we were placed in service. Bubba turned the Engine around and we headed back to the station. While heading back I filled out a run sheet for the call. Once back at the station I put my gear back in my stall and then got my shoes back on and Bubba got the times for the call and then he showed me a few things online. He then asked me if I could run some stuff over to Enders-Fisherville for Fire Prevention that we were doing today and I said that was not a problem. So I ran the stuff over there and I talked to Kate in the office and then I headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and then read the paper. As I was coming down Creek Drive, I passed my mother heading towards town and I called her to see where she was going and she said to get her hair cut. Well she then called me around 13:10 hours and asked if I could started heading towards Halifax with another pair of shoes for her and the cooler she left sitting in the dinning room. So I got back in my car and started heading in towards Halifax. I met her at Fetterhoff's church and gave her the stuff and then headed on back home. Once at hoem I finished reading the paper and then changed into old street clothes and then headed up to the fire house to mow the lawn. I mowed the lower lot and I stopped to talk to Bubba as he was heading off to work. While I was talking to him, Eville got dispatched for an accident with injuries involving a motorcycle. I later found out that it ended up being a signal 12. I then went back to mowing. I did the lot beside the fire house and then started on the lot by the hall when my father came pulling in. I stopped and shut off the mower and went over to his truck. He said to me that we might be going and I said going where. He then told me that 19 was on their second dispatch for a child struck on Small Valley Road. I said that 29 might be next due and not us, but I wasn't sure. County then dispatched 29 as the next due Engine to head to the scene. He then pulled over behind the fire house and him and me talked some more and then the next thing you know, our pagers went off, followed by the house siren for us to set up a landing zone at Enders-Fisherville Elementary School for Life Lion for the Carsonville call. I ran inside the station and kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and grabbed my jacket and helmet and headed over towards the Engine. I opened the Engine bay door and saw Robby and his boy Tyler come sprinting across the lower lot. I opened the officers door and my father got in the driver's seat and Tyler got in the back. I told him to slide over as I switched to the back so Robby could ride in the officer's seat. Andy and Kenny then came running in the station. Robby said that we were going to shove six in the Engine so I told Tyler to slide all the way over. Andy then said that he would just take Kenny and go in the Utility. My father didn't hear that we were going to the elementary school to set up a LZ and at the end of the alley, made a left instead of a right. Well we ended up taking the back way to the school, but did get there and got the LZ set up for Life Lion as they came in and landed and then about 2 minutes later, 6-8 pulled in with John driving and Tim in the back. Once the flight crew got everything set up and got the kid transferred over to the myself, my father, Ray and Andy carried the liter out to the chopper and loaded her into it and then they took off. Everyone came out of the woodwork for this call. Jean was there for fire police. Then coming POV was Schoffstall, Troy, Ray, and Matt Faust. We then put the cones away and then headed back to the station. Once back there a bunch of us stood around and shot the shit and then people slowly started leaving. My father left first and headed on home and then Robby and Tyler and then Schoffstall. Paul from Millersburg stopped by to shot the shit and then around 17:00 hours I went back to mowing the lawn so I could get finished up in time to get cleaned up to go to work. I finished up mowing and then put the lawn mower away and then headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then ate dinner while I quickly updated the website. Bowser called the house around 18:45 hours and asked me if I would mind going to Lykens last night and I said that was not a problem. Around 19:00 hourz I changed into my uniform and then grabbed my digital camera and suitcase and took them out to the kitchen. I then grabbed my bottle of Gatorade and then left the house around 19:25 hours to head up to Lykens to go to work. I stopped at Koppy's and grabbed something to munch on for the night and then continued on up to Lykens. Once there I parked and got my stuff together and headed into the station. John and Tim weren't there and both units were gone. I put my stuff in the fridge and then clocked in then sat down and started to watch TV. Then around 20:15 hours, I heard the bay door open up and then Tim came walking in. I went out to the bay with him and he had 6-8 parked outside. I asked where John was and he said that he was coming behind him with 6-7. John then got there and backed 6-7 in and then he clocked out and headed on home after I showed him my new car. Me and Tim then got in 6-8 and headed on down to Shell at the end of town so I could get fuel for the truck. We then stopped at Ciao's to grab something to eat for dinner. I got two slices of pizza and a soda and then we headed back to the station and we watched a movie that Tim had rented. After the movie was over Tim got ready to head on home and he went out to 6-8 to grab some of his stuff out of it and he notice that the oyxgen was still on. It had bleed the tank down to 500 psi. So while I took the tank out of 6-8, Tim took the one out of 6-7 and then we switched tanks and I put the new tank in 6-8 and he put the old tank in 6-7 and then he left and headed on home. I stayed up and watched Dirty Jobs until 02:15 hours and then I went to sleep. We didn't turn a single wheel all night long and I woke up this morning around 07:40 hours when I heard Tim talking on the phone. I got up and put my pillow away and then got the stuff back on my belt and then used the restroom. Tindell and Shultz then came in and I clocked out nad the four of us shot the shit for awhile and then they left to head down to Eville and I left to head down to Eville. Once at Eville I pulled in the same time as Boyer and when I went in he showed me the order that came from Bound Tree and that I had asked for a box of 11 10cc flushes and they only sent me 1. They did the same thing with the 2 cases of 1,000 bags that I requested and only sent me 2 bags. So I checked supplies and put away the supplies that had come in and then I called Bound Tree and talked to them about the screw up. I then took Kathy outside and showed her the inside of my car and then I left the Eville station around 09:36 hours and headed up to CVS to get my flu shot. I walked in by 09:45 and they were already giving out flu shots. There was only 3 other people there to get a flu shot besides me. I got my flu shot and then headed on home. Once at home I changed and then ate breakfast and read the paper. I then changed into street clothes and left the house around 11:10 hours and headed up to the fire house for fire prevention at the elementary school. I got there and mostly everyone was already there. Robby, Andy, Lonny, Schoffstall, LeeAnn and then myself. Lyle, House and Michelle came in behind me. We all headed into the warm fire house and shot the shit until Bubba got up there. I then got my gear and brought it over in front of the Utility. Bubba asked me if I was going to take the Utility and I told him I was hoping to wheel the Engine today and he then asked Schoffstall if he would mind taking the Utility and he said no. So Schoffstall and House went in the Utility. Michelle, Robin and Jean all drove over themselves. Lonny and Lyle were in the Tanker and I drove the Engine with Bubba, Robby, LeeAnn and Andy in it. We got over there and we went through two grades and were done by a little after 14:00 hours. As we were getting ready for the first grader group, Halifax got dispatched for an accident with duel entrapment on South River Road. Bubba thought that we might go to set up an LZ, but it never came to that. Once back at the station, I put my gear away and then we all shot the shit and then eventually everyone left. Bubba headed down to the house to get ready for work. Lyle then left, and then Bill came and picked up House, then Schoffstall left and then Lonny. Bubba then came back up to talk a little before leaving for work. Everyone else then left and I did a medical bag check on the trucks and then did some work in the old fire house and then headed on home around 17:00 hours. Once at home I ate dinner and then took a shower and had a light snack. I am now getting ready to hit the old email and surf the net. I will be on late tonight so if any sexy ladies want to talk to me, just give me a buzz.
