Final Weekend Before Finals Week

When I got to the fire department I had about four hours of sleep last night. one of the guys asked me why I wasn’t out at the murder. I then found out they ran on a call where it appeared that someone was hit by a car and then left to die. An investigation went through out the day. It sounds like they think it was a fall from a cliff side and not a hit and run.

It was thought at the fire department that we might be busy tonight. It is the last party night before finals week. Last week was pretty quiet overall. Friday night was bad. There were a lot of calls. So they are staffing up the station today.

I also was moved from the engine to the ambulance. That was a happy thing for me. I prefer to be on the ambulance most of the time. But it was really quiet. We worked on ambulance checks. Then we did hydrants to finish off the hydrants that we had not completed the other night.

I took a short nap because I only got fourteen hours of sleep over the last seventy-two hours. We ran one call before dinner. After dinner Chia and I went to the Gladish center where there was some mixed martial arts fighting. We checked out the area for the best location to come in with a cot and get around if we are needed. Then we cruised through campus to see what things looked like. There was one place where it looked a big party was going to happen.

We also looked at the place where the kid fell off the cliff side. We were trying to figure out where it happened and what the area looked like. I went to bed around ten o’clock. I was still tired. I didn’t get a lot of sleep I was getting woken up by various things happening, whether it was the phone ringing, the pager going off, or a guy playing a practical joke on me.

We had one other call that happened at the place where we identified a possible big party spot on campus.
