When I got up this morning I figured I would watch some TV then head to Colfax Fire to hang out for the morning. I had to be in Pullman by four in the afternoon. But that changed when I heard D-Twelve get toned out to assist Pullman Fire with a structure fire. I thought about it for a minute to think if it was a training or real. But the address they gave I knew it was not training. So I called the Deuce to see if they still needed reserves to respond.<\/p>\n

Reed was there and he said we was waiting for someone else to come to take Rescue to the scene. I went to Pullman and we went en route. Once on scene we got rehab set up and I was told to fill air bottle. Oh joy! Not what I wanted to do. The fire was the Emerald Downs, a new apartment complex. It covered three apartments in one building that was under construction.<\/p>\n

We got the fire knocked down. Rescue stayed after to help with the investigation. We were there for about four hours. Reed and I helped draw out the building and the apartment layouts. We also helped do grunt work including photographing stuff.<\/p>\n

When we were done we went to station one to clean up some equipment. When we were pulling into the station it was almost five-thirty in the evening. We got called to a fire alarm. We were already in our turn-outs so we went up to the scene with Engine Thirty-Two. We went inside with Turpin. It turned out to be a pull station. We reset it and went back to the station.<\/p>\n

I went to get into my uniform for being on duty. I was on engine tonight. Chuck and I went to the store to get stuff for dinner. When I was backing him into a place at Dissmores I could smell gas. So I looked around and I saw it leaking out of a truck box. So I went over to it and saw a gas can and tipped over. I righted the can. We put absorbent on the gas spill. We called for Engine Thirty-Two for more absorbent. Turpin joked that we are busy enough without us going out and looking for stuff to do.<\/p>\n

Once we mitigated that scene we got our food and went to the station to cook it. We all sat down to eat. We had a good time. It was also good food. We had BBQ chicken, tater tots, salad, and ice cream for dessert.<\/p>\n

After dinner Chuck and I did our Engine daily checks. We found a few problems, including low air on some SCBA tanks. We took them down to station one to top the off as well as topping of Engine Thirty-Three’s water tank.<\/p>\n

When we finished with that we went back to the Deuce. Reed and watched Rescue Me. I went home shortly after midnight. I was tired, but I decided to work on the website for the department for a little bit. I got pictures from the live burn put up as well as an old set of pics from the stair climb that some reserves did a few years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
