Rolling with Colfax Fire

I went to Colfax Fire to hang out a while today. Ken was working. We watched the movie Be Cool. During the movie we got called to an unattended burn. We went to it and put out the fire. The cops came up and wrote the guy who started it a criminal citation for reckless burning because the guy had done about six different things wrong, including not getting a permit, not being there, not having a way to put it out in case it grew too big, burning non-yard waste, and having it too close to the house.

When we got back we recharged the water can from the engine and continued to watch the movie. I was about ready to go when another call came in for a water problem. I went with Ken on that one as well. We had to call the city public works guy to come fix that problem.

Then I went to Pullman because I was on call. I helped to do the vehicle maintenance. I also talked to James about wearing civi’s to the station when coming down for a call. He said there is nothing in the SOP against it, and Heston’s E-mail was in reference to us going out in public to do training and wearing the uniform.

We got a couple calls today. There was only three of us working and no engineer so we just used Rescue all night. It turned out there were no engine calls anyway. We rolled only on medical calls.

I spent some time not at the station working on the Thunder website. We are getting to crunch time on it, for sure.
