Long weekend

Took a mental heath day from work on Friday and extended the weekend. Allow me to take in a few fire calls.

First call was for an alarm system down the street from the firehouse. The FM took the call and recalled the company for a malfunction in the alarm system before we responded.

Second call was an MVA on the highway. Truck rolled before I got there.

Third call a ladder special call for an apartment fire. I made the truck and got there, but our services weren't needed. Took them the better part of 30 minutes to figure that out but none-the-less.

Car Fire

After a night time snowfall where we acutally didn't turn a wheel we were hit for a car fire on the highway.

I was at home and got to the firehouse just in time to watch the rescue leave the station. As it was a highway job we were held to on truck. Didn't matter much though since within 10 minutes the recall was issued.

Snowstorm Respiratory Arrest

It never fails, when the snow falls people get sick and it's usually pretty nasty. Maybe it's because it's tougher to get to them, maybe it's only because it takes an extra three or four minutes to clean the snow off the car... all the while thinking "there is a person somewhere who's not breathing who needs my help" but you seem to remember the snowstorm calls.

Anyway the time it took to get the car ready to go, and to get to the firehouse. I missed the truck and the captain held it to one truck.
