I slept until about two o’clock pm when I received a phone call from Pete. He had a few questions about my field report from my last case. After clearing it up for him. I decided it was time to get up. I made some lunch and watched TV for a couple hours. I was going to go to Colfax fire and hang out, but I decided to stay at home until I had to go to Pullman for vehicle maintenance.<\/p>\n
I wanted to get to the fire station a little early and get a start on my work. I knew it would take a while because we needed to take all the equipment out and clean them and the compartments then put everything back. The compartments were horrible. The middle one where we keep a larger number of hand tools had hydraulic fluid on the floor of the compartment where a sixteen ounce bottle spilled. It took almost a half hour to just get it cleaned up, let alone the tools that are kept in the one compartment. After doing just one side of the rescue I helped with the cab. That took a total of nearly two and a half hours. Normally it would take two and a half hours, give or take, to do the whole rig.<\/p>\n
After we were done cleaning, we had to go to station one and get some supplies. Then we went to the hospital where I got my yearly TB test read. Negative again.<\/p>\n
When we got back I hung out for a while at the station. I was starving so I was about to leave when we got a call. It was up at the rec center. We did not transport. So we went back to the station and that was it for calls for the night.<\/p>\n
