Structure Fire at the Training House

Around one in the morning we got toned out for a structure fire. I was woken up by the second alarm tones. I looked at the digital pager and found it said the fire was at the training house. I went to the station. I missed an ambulance that left with people going to the fire. No one else showed up. So I sat around the station for about two hours. Engine Thirty-One showed up. I went to the scene with them. I was with Chapman standing by near the scene and ready to take a call in the city should another one come in. Nothing else came.

After the fire was out we helped to clean up the scene. I went back to the station and help clean hose and reload the vehicles with clean hose. I went home at seven in the morning and then right back to the station.

We started by doing rig checks and then cleaned about seven hundred feet of hose the was used for the actual training. After getting it hung up I was able to take a nap for about two hours. I didn’t get two hours of sleep because I tossed and turned a lot and I also got a couple phone calls. At one I got back up and started the afternoon.

We didn’t get any calls during the day. I got some computer work completed and I did some stuff on the spreadsheets for the department and for Rudy.

We had dinner as a group at station one. I watched some TV and worked on some blog entries before going to bed just before ten o’clock PM. I was tired and I figured it was a good time to go to sleep.
