Engineer Training

Ryan, George, and I went to a dinner for Ryan. Now that he has a new job in Spokane he will be moving soon. So we had a going away dinner for him. George was running really late, so we ate and then he showed up a tiny bit before we decided we were going to head out. So I stayed later than I had planned on staying there.

Brian, Shane, and I spent some time doing engineer training for me. We started by talking through taking some hydrants. Then we took one, Brian pulled a hose and I got the pump going. I was slow on getting him water. I was a little clumsy on the pump panel. Then we packed everything up and did it one more time. This time I did better. But it is clear I want more training.

Shane had to leave early so Brian and I got the hoses and packed them up. We went back to the station and did the triple-layer load by ourselves. It worked out pretty darn well.

We got a call for someone who was not breathing well. On the way to the station I was thinking we would get re-toned to this as an echo. As it turned out we did not get re-toned, but the cops got on scene and said he was not breathing and CPR was in progress.
