And all thru the firehouse.

Most the creatures were stirrin especially the Mouse (es)

3 fairly busy Days so far this trick.

4-5 runs each Day. (2 Days and 1 night actually)

Broke 1500 (rpy) last night.

But its last night night in, pushin 11pm and haven't turned a Wheel.

Got to wash the wife's truck though.

Oh well better luck next trick.

Merry Christmas to All, and to All a goog Night!

Well we're up to 2 today.

First was a medical assist.

The second was an MVC with Rescue. We were back-up to a volunteer Truck who got out late so we got there after the Squad.

SUV on its roof with 2 still inside.

A little stabilization, and assist as needed.

Still have 3 hrs to go.

Stay safe

Not much happened today

The Engine ran a few, then they went a body short so we got to take 1 medical response for them.

Did get a chance to work out, so thats a plus.

Stay safe,

Lt Dan

Ran a couple of runs so far, nothing to them.

Had a good dinner, and a little work-out.

We'll see what the rest of the night brings.

Stay safe,

Started with a bang (at least for somebody else) we had to relieve B-Sift on the scene of a Dwelling Fire.

Small single family, lots of stuff everywhere, Fire started in the Basement, and extended up to the first floor via the Bathroom.

Waited for FID, did some overhaul, went home.

Only had one more call all day and got cancelled on that.

Got lots of administrative stuff though.

Well guess I'll try again tomorrow night.

Stay Safe,

Lt Dan

Well here we are 1st night in, not much going on.

Cut-up a "has-been" demolition-derby car for Auto-ex training.

Not having much luck trying to "Jack" the dash with spreaders instead of "Rolling" it with a ram.

Any suggestions out there?

Well going to finish watching some football, then see if I can get some sleep or not.

Go Patsies! (I mean Patriots)

Stay safe

Well 1st Day for C-Shift this trick and I'm detailed to the Engine again.

Another day in the Fire Triangle OOOHHH.

Caught a bed fire (not a bedroom just the bed) and a lot of smoke.

We were 3rd Engine in so not much work.

On the way to the shop we happened upon a Tractor-Trailer who ran over something and put a whole in one of his Diesel Tanks.

Made a real mess on I-695. (The Beltway)

Got to put some of those OP. skills to work. Diking and damming on

Its back to work a day Early.

I'm working for a Captain on another shift (B-Shift).

Get to spend the day on the engine.

We cut up another demo derby car. (in betweeen Medical calls)

Yeah and the mulch is burning again.

Oh well better luck next time.

Spent the week conventioning in Ocean City MD

Lots of Fun

Met new people and even learned a little

Oh well, we're back home and ready to get back to the grind

Got Skunked!

No runs, no hits, no errors.

Off next trick to go to the Ocean for the State Convention.

We'll try it again in two weeks.

Stay Safe,

Lt Dan

No fires just a couple of first responder type calls.

Second week in a row we went for forcible entry and the caller met us outside. "Damn-it"

Hey check my page out, an actual picture of me on a fire. Its my back but I know who I am

Stay Safe
