First Shift 5/25/2008

My first shift on duty was Sunday May 25, 2008. It was AWESOME!

Our first run, we got cancelled as soon as we exited the appartus bay doors. We got a smoke investigation, a medical call, at 0345 we got a rescue from an elevator...which consisted of pushing the down button...and a business alarm that was a false alarm. Pretty good for my first shift.

I feel pretty comfortable with my truck and where everything is. I need to figure out how to get my gear on when we're going to fires. Medical I can just have my pants on...but I've got to figure that out, which I will

Graduation!

I'm a little behind on this...I always do that to my self.

Anyways, my final I passed with a 92%. Our class average was a 95%, so we're pretty good.

Graduation day FINALLY rolled around. We all got our station assignments. I've been stationed at Engine 4, which is where I wanted to go since the begining!!

I'm gonna post some graduation photos on here real soon

Trench Rescue Training

We went and did some trench rescue training today. Right in the middle
of it there was a call for a plane crash. We started to break down
everything and get ready to go to it for manpower, when it came back as
a false call...sucked
