Real Engine Pump Time

The plan for today was pretty simple. We were going to do some drive time with Tyson and Keith. Plus we are on call tonight. We were going to do some training where we were taking things out of the tower and then spraying water.

This is because OC was used inside and caused everything to get contaminated. But before the training started we got a call for a fire alarm. Then we got to the scene. I wanted to be the engineer. I got my chance.

I had to make sure people got the water they needed. I was able to set up the FDC’s, set up other lines, and pump. That was my first chance to do those kind of things. It was nice to get that chance. When the training was over I directed a group of people to get the engine back in service. Tyson, Keith, and I went to the station to start to fill all the air bottles. That took a couple hours when it was done.
