It'll be just the 4 of us on shift. Probably going to bbq and kick back. It's going to be dead out on the airfield. Unless a stray firecracker causes a fire around the airport we won't be doing much of anything. Just a usual Saturday at Chennault AFB, LA.

Hey
Explorer Captain Marc Hurwitz here. I am in the Los Angeles City Fire Department. I will be working @ FS58 (1 engine, 1 truck, 1 rescue ambluance, 1 pump...Taskforce setup), LaCienega Heights/West LA. We will do training in the morning, then we will hang the flags off of the hose beds. Then we will do our regular day, probably get 12-20 calls with atleast 2 of them beening structures and most of the other being burns, then we (the engine) MIGHT get moved up to Culver City Fire Station 1 to cover for them while there station is at the fireworks show.
Then (if we stay @ the station and not get moved up) we will throw the arieal ladder to the roof and bring up the barbque and a bunch of chairs and have a barbque on the roof, while watching the fireworks show from Culver City High.

It's the last night of our carnival fundraiser.....don't expect a to big of a crowd....other places will be having fireworks, so it kind of kills part of the crowd when it gets dark...but there is still a crowd that stays...
