Fun with Subs

I went to bed last night around 04:00 hours and woke up this morning at 10:54 hours when Bubba called me cell phone. When I answered he told me to head to the station as we were going to be getting a call. I got out of bed and was getting my jeans on when my mother brought me medication into my room. She asked me where I was going and I said up to the station as Bubba had just called and said that we would be getting a call. So I then got in my car and headed up to the station. I got up there and Dave and Jason we already there. I parked and went inside and Jason said that we probally weren't going to go. I asked him what it was and he said a Chimney Fire in Wayne Township, on a 19-3 box. Carsonville hand't gotten out yet and Halifax was soon on it's second dispatch. Jason was getting itchy just go with the Tanker as no one was on the street yet. After they hit Halifax for the second time he finally told Dave that he was just going to go with the Tanker. I took my jacket off and Jason started the Tanker awhile. I asked Dave if he wanted me to grab the Utility. About that time the tones went off. I didn't hear my pager go off because of the Tanker running, but I heard the breaker for the house siren click in the breaker box, followed by the siren going off. I kicked my shoes off and got my bunker pants on and then grabbed my jacket and helmet. Dave then said to go ahead and start the Engine awhile, which I did and I cracked the bay door some to keep the fumes from building up in the station. He the motioned for me to open it all the way and he said he would pull out and see if anyone else was coming. So he pulled out and I shut the bay door and then got in the officers seat, and then he put us responding and off we went. We got to the scene and stagged behind the Tanker. Truck 20 was already there, along with 6-5 (6-8) and Chief 29-3. Me and Dave went up to the scene and I ended up taking 20's TIC down to their guys in the basement. I then helped Jason get the basket chain off of the Tanker and then I got the chimney buckets off of the Engine and Tanker, along with the two chimney shovels and the mirror. We were out for about 1-1/2 hours at the scene and then we got released and headed back to the station. Once there I got out and opened the Engine bay door so Dave could back the Engine in. I then helped close the Tanker door since Jason had already backed the Tanker in and then I shut the Engine bay door as Dave was already back in. Troy then came in as he had come up from Bubba's house from talking with Robin. I had filled out the report while we were coming back, so I didn;t have to do that. Dave had to leave to go get ready for work and I told Jason that I would hose what we used down and Troy said he would help me. I then got out of my bunker gear and then hosed everything down. Me and Troy then talked for about 10 minutes and then we both left and I headed on home. Once at home I ate lunch and read the paper. My mother had run up to Eville to pick up medication for April and then went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things. Once she got home I helped her bring the stuff in and then finished reading the paper and we talked some about the call. After that I got on the computer to do a few things and then left the house around 17:00 hours and headed up to the hall to help with subs. Katina and Bill were already there and Katina was working on slicing the tomatoes. I sat down and had a quick soda and then brought the rest of the stuff that Katina had to get in to the hall. Jean then showed up and me and her started working on the lettuce. Lonny then showed up, followed by House, then Troy, LeeAnn, Jason, Matt and Aren, and then Jess. We had some problems with Buttercrust not giving us enough buns. Katina talked to the guy and we got a deal worked out for tomorrow with buns. This was the most help that I have seen to help make subs since I have been in the fire company. After we finished with the subs quite a few of us sat around and shot the shit. The remaining 6 finally left around 21:15 hours and I headed on home. Once at home I took a shower and then got my lunch together for work tomorrow and 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.
