The Rodeo

The highschool rodeo was being held at the fairgrounds in Colfax. I went with Colfax Ambulance to stand by out there in case someone got hurt. It was pretty uneventful over all. No real injuries. I wish there had been more of the bronco and bull riding and a lot less of the barrels and poles. Those seemed to drag on and on and on. But over all I had a good time out there.

I left from there to go straight to Pullman for rig checks. I got some dinner on the way and then to the station. Brian was already there. We took Engine Thirty-One up to the tower and gave him some time on the pump. I went over the relief value with him and explained how it worked. We sprayed water for a while, but he has pumped before so a lot of this is not new to him. We were there until nearly seven o’clock. We got back to the station and worked on rig checks and going on calls in the middle of the rig checks.

It was turning out to be quiet most of the night, then we got the three in the morning and five-thirty-in the morning calls. That sucked.
