Engineer Calculations Work

August 31st, 2007

This evening I planned on meeting up with Gribbon to work on the engineering calulations. We got the clipboard from the engine and started to go through different calculatons. A big storm was moving in at the same time.

Soon thunder, lightning, and rain were all around us. The lightning was striking all around us. A small fire was started just outside the city that D-twelve went on. Gribbon had to leave on a fire alarm. But he was back in no time. But later the FD was getting called to down lines and fire alarms all over the place.

Gribbon left again, and I waited at the station for him. But I got a call from Foster. He asked if I could find another reserve to help me guard one of the down lines. I got Bien and we went to the scene in Utility.

We were on Ruby making sure people did not go through the scene. But a lot of people had to be stopped because they did not pay attention to the barrier tape all over the place. Many people would walk up to the tape and then walk under it. We would stop them and make them go around. One guy was starting to walk around the tape, then decided to run under the tape. He went running down the road. He was right under the powerlines. It was a stupid move on his part.

The house we were in front of has having a party. So people kept coming out to chat with us. This went on for hours. We were there until nearly one-thirty in the morning. When I got back to the station Gribbon was there. We went through the final calculations I had created for him to do. I didn’t get home unti two-thirty in the morning.
