Patient Care in P-Town

I came down for some daytime calls. One was an echo response, that turned out to be nearly nothing. We did not even help transport the person to the hospital. On the way back to the station we got called to Pioneer Square for someone who fell. I tool patient care and ended up keeping it all the way to the hospital.

I had to go back to the station to do my report on the computer but it was getting closer to the time to be on call and I needed to go home and get ready to be on call. I put my paperwork aside and went to my office. Shortly after I got there we were called out on another person who needed help. Once again we did not help transport. I was able to get home and get ready to be on call.

Chuck and Brian took Rescue out for fireworks patrol. I was supposed to be with them but a reporter from the Daily Evergreen went with them. I stayed at the station with Tyson. He worked on his maps and I worked on my paperwork. When I was done I watched some TV.

We got a call from station one about going to Cougar Country for some ice cream. Tyson and I went with the guys from the Deuce in Engine Thirty-Two. We were riding with them until Rescue was done with the fireworks patrols. While we were at Cougar Country, Sugden told me that he thought I did a good job on my HEAR report. When I first started to talk he was wondering who was on the radio. Then he figured it out. He said it was one of the better ones he heard in a long time.

Back from ice cream, we were sitting around the station when a call for a dumpster fire came in. Tyson and I got to the engine and got our stuff on as did the full-timers. Chris and I got our packs ready to go as we went to the scene code-three. We got on location with the fire extinguished by a fire extinguisher. We still put some water on the fire. It turned out that there was a very small amount of garbage in the dumpster, so there was not a lot that we had to do.

It was not long thereafter that Chuck got back with the Rescue. We all left the Deuce. But we did get called back for a victim of an assault. Once again, as was the theme of the day, we did not go to the hospital with the ambulance.
