All Day with the fire department

April 2nd, 2006

This morning getting up was hard but I got going and made it to Wawawai Landing just after eight o’clock in the morning. No one was there so I took the time to work on compiling the stats from last nights football game. I got everything done on the computer except for the offense. I would do that later on.

I stood around waiting for runners to finally come through. Around nine in the morning the first runner came through. Then the relay teams started to come through. It took until about noon for them all to get through. Pullman Fire had some people running in the race as well. I got pictures of people running the race from the fire department.

After I was done at my post I went to the next one and talked to Tadema. The other Pullman Fire guys were there. I got pics of them. I also talked to Brad about him not playing softball for us tonight. He is going to be there next week so I wasn’t too upset about missing him tonight.

I was told that we needed to be at the Colton High School. I went there and District twelve was there. So we were not needed there afterall. I decided to take off. I got to my office and worked on the stats some more when a call came in. I went to the fire station. No one else showed up so I did not get to go on the call.

Around three o’clock in the afternoon I was really hungry. I went to Dissmores for some lunch and pop. Ryan called about going to get some ice cream. I went to my office and got into my softball uniform. I also got a hold of Brian about playing for My Office Bar mens team this summer. He said I could play. I also got Brad on the team. I am happy about him playing for us. He is a good player.

Ryan came with Anna and we went to Cougar Country. We got the line up taken care of and talked softball for a while just burning up time. When it was close to five-thirty we went to the field. It started to rain really hard while we were warming up. But then it stopped and it was decent the rest of the day. Our first game was a FFT. So we were going to play a practice game against another team. Just as we were going to start it the IM people decided to have us play our second game right then. The team we were playing also had a FFT. So we played. We were the away team. So we went to the plate first and scored one run. We were using a mush ball.

During the other teams’ at bat they tried to get us to use a hard ball for them. We refused and said that we would use the same ball so they did not have an advantage. I think that was our undoing as they scored five runs on us. We were only able to get one more run for the rest of the game. The only got one more as well. We were using the hard ball for the rest of the game and no one hit it out.

After the game I went to the fire station. We had some dinner and the guys from station one were there with us. After dinner we started on the maintenance. It went off without a problem. I ran the pump test of the engine for practice in doing so.

When they was done I stuck around and watched Walking Tall with some of the guys. They we watch Ron White stand up. Finally I left to get some sleep. Then we got a call. We went to it only for it to be a transport, but we were not needed. So we went back to the station. I got to bed again only to be called for a fire alarm.

Shane showed up and I was getting in when no one had gone en route. I was thinking we would beat them en route. Whitcom retoned the call. I got on the radio right away and said we were en route. They gave us the update. We went code to the scene as we were technically the primary unit. I got there and gave the size up. The PL showed up shortly afterwards and I had the captain come to assist us. I went to where they thought the alarm was. But the alarm panel was saying it was on the second floor. We checked the second floor without finding anything. They had already reset the alarm so we could not even find the detector that had activated.

After that call we got back to the station and I went to bed again. A call came out at five in the morning. I was pretty tired. We ended up helping the transport of the patient to the hospital. Shane was the one who was in the back of the ambulance. After that call I got some breakfast and went to bed once and for all.
