Morning Fire Call

I went to bed Tuesday night around 02:30 hours and got up Wednesday morning at 06:20 hours when my alarm went off. I got out of bed and got dressed and then grabbed my digital camera and suitcase and took it out to the kitchen. I then packed my lunch and got my Gatorade bottles together. I then left the house around 06:30 hours to head up to Eville to go to work. I was going in an hour early for Yeager. I stopped at Koppy's and picked up a paper and then headed to the station. Once there I parked and took my stuff inside and clocked in. Yeager was sleeping on the blue couch and Tracey had left early once again. I put my lunch box and Gatorade bottles in the fridge and then did a rig check on 6-8 and checked both the ALS and BLS supplies. I then got on the computer and ate breakfast while I filled out the proper forms and then checked a few things. Jim them came in and I went out into the day room and sat down and read the paper. Boyer then came in and two guys came in and they had a meeting I believe about the radio porject. While that was going on, Boyer had me go get 6-5 ready for Spitler's to take back up to have work done on it. The Lykens crew of Tim and Stutzman then called down to see if we wanted to go anywhere for breakfast and I said that I had just eaten and Jim said that he was fine also. Tim then told Jim that they would be down in about 30 minutes after they did a few things up there. About 10 minutes later the tones went off for I believe it was Heart Problems in Gratz Borough. 6-5 took that call, but Jim wanted to head up also to help out. So we got in 6-8 and off we went. We got there 2 minutes behind them and went inside and heled move her out of the bedroom and then loaded her into 6-7 and off they went to the hospital and we headed back to Eville. I stopped at Shell and got fuel and then stopped at Koppy's so Jim could get something to eat. Once back at the station, Boyer said that I had a box up front and when I opened it up, it was the new Kendrick Splints. I took the box back to the day room so I could get them marked and on the trucks then. I then went into Boyer's office to talk to him about a few things once he was done talking to Jim and I never got that chance as the tones went off for an unconscious person at SLV in Upper Paxton Township. So I ran Jim down there and then once he headed on down to Harrisburg Hospital, I headed on back to the station. Once there I ate lunch and checked a few things online. I then talked to Boyer about a few things and then I headed on down to Sheetz around 13:15 hours to go pick Jim up. I got down there and moved his gear over and then we headed on back to Eville. Jim and Stutzman came back shortly before I left to go pick up Jim and once we got back and got Stutzman to help me mark up the Kendrick Splints and then we took some of the bags/cases (such as the KED Board, Pediatric Board and etc.) and we put groments in them and then we put them back on the truck. They then left around 16:00 hours to go grab something to eat and then headed back up to Lykens. Then around 16:30 hours the tones went off for a fall victim, class 3 in Washington Township. Me and Jim got in 6-8 and off we went. We got there and it was kind of a fall victim. What ended up happening, was the lady went to get out of her car while it was still in reverse and she got tossed out and hit by the car. So we ended up putting a c-collar on her and we tried to lay her down on a backboard, but she got all bitchy, so we ended up putting a KED Board around her and then Jim drove us down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back. I stopped at Sheetz so I could grab something to eat and then we headed on back to the Eville station. Tim and Stutzman had just gotten there when we got back. I had no medic for the night shift in Eville, so we made an ambulance and a squad. I then ate dinner while I watched the Discovery Channel. Tim went back to lay down around 21:20 hours and then it was me and Stutzman watching TV. The tones then went off around 22:45 hours for an assult victim in Lykens Borough, class 3. Me and Stutzman got in 6-8 and off we went. We stagged at Kevin's place until PSP said we could go in. The lady's daughter threw a bowl at her and the lady got a laceration on her left eblow that you could see some of the muscle through the laceration. We bandaged her up and then we took her down to Harrisburg Hospital. After we got what we needed, we headed on back to Eville. I stopped at Koppy's to grab something to drink and then we headed back to the station. Once there I went back to doing my chart from the fall victim and then went to bed around 02:00 hours. Stutzman fell asleep on the couch in the day room, so I took the matteress in the BLS room. The tones went off arounn 06:45 hours for an accident with injuries in Northumberland County with us for ALS. Tim got up and went in the squad and I laid back down to get some more sleep. I then got up at 07:45 hours when the alarm on my cell phone went off. I got up and got the stuff back on my belt and got my boots on and put my pillow away and then filled out my time sheet for the pay period. Wertz came in around 07:00 hours and was still up when I came out of the BLS room. As I put my time sheet in the bin, my fire pager went off for a smoke investigation in Halifax Borough. John had just come in and it was 08:00 hours, so I grabbed my stuff, clocked out and got in my car and took off for the fire house. I tried calling Bubba twice to tell him I was coming to the station from work, but he didn't answer. As I was passing the Bible Church, I heard the Engine go responding with 3. I pulled in and got out of my just as Command 29 placed the box in service. So I went in the open Engine bay door and I heard a door slam. Here it was the Utility door and Bubba was standing back at the desk. Here he had been getting ready to get in the shower when the call came in and he missed the Engine. The Engine got back and it was Jason, Dave and Schoffstall on the Engine and Jean pulled in right before the Engine. We shot the shit for a little bit and then I headed on hoem to get changed for the funeral. Once at home I changed into my uniform and then headed back up to the fire house around 08:40 hours. I got there and Bubba was already back up from the house. Andy stopped in and we had found out a little earlier that the smoke investigation was for his stove an chimeny, as he has a corn burning stove and when it burns, the smoke really comes out of the pipe. I then got my gear on the Tanker and then me and Bubba left and headed on up to Millersburg. We headed to their station and shot the shit there until 29 got there and then we shot the shit a little bit more and then around 10:00 hours we headed on down to the funeral home. We parked down on Keystone street and then walked up to the funeral home and signed in and viewed the body. We then took part in the firefighters portion of the service. After the service was over, we headed back down to the apparatus. Engine 21, ourselves and Engine 29-1 then headed on down to the old Hardee's and parked the apparatus along the right shoulder and turned all the emergency lights on. Truck was was set up in the parking lot with an american flag extending from the bucket. We then put out bunker jackets on and helmet and all stood in a line and stood at attention and salutted when the procession when by. We then wrapped things up and then headed back to the station. We got back a little after 12:00 hours and I took my gear off of the Tanker and then Bubba made a few phone calls and showed me a few video's online. We then both left around 13:20 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I changed and then read the paper. I then got on the computer to start working one of my two stories for this years convention yearbook. I then ate dinner while I watched MASH on TV. I then changed into streer clothes and left the house around 17:20 hours and headed up to Eville. I stopped at Shell and got gas and then headed to work for the mandatory sexual harassment training schedule for 18:00 hours tonight. That was fun (rolls eyes). After it was over we all shot the shit and I left there around 19:40 hours and headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then ate 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.
