    hey. not much has been happening, but this Wednesday we had a two alarm apartment fire in a neighboring county where we were all evacuated so that was pretty fun. then, about an hour after we were dispatched for that we got a dwelling but our standby crew got there first and knocked it down. we only got to do the overhaul. then, about two hours after that call, we got a dryer fire but we put that out pretty fast. other than that day, we've been pretty quiet. I'm pretty busy with lacrosse, midterms, and FF1 classes, but I'm holding in there.
    How about you? any good calls recently?

    wow. you seem just as busy as us. it's been pretty quiet the last few days... i guess we get a break after that crazy day last week. i'm completely stressing over my hazmat test, and it doesnt help that my lacrosse coach is breathing down my neck about being "more committed." oh well. hope all is well with you.

    p.s. i love your # 1 reason for being a firefighter... so true to all firefighters.

    We haen't had anything big for awhile now. Just some minor grass fires and EMS calls. That's usually not a good sign. I'm expecting shit to hit the fan here soon.

    that's awesome! we kinda had the same thing. we had six calls in one day, including a vehicle rescue and a structure in a neighboring township where we were first on scene. the same day though, another neighboring town, Pottstown, had a four alarm fire and it spread to like 4 different buildings. it's all on phillyfirenews. i =, of course, was at work and then had to babysit so i didnt make any of the calls. ugh!!! oh well.

    oh wow. you have been busy! we have mostly been getting false alarms, but we had this guy run his rent a car into a pole and split the pole at like 1:30 in the morning. the car flipped like 3 times and he got out and ran away. we were out looking for him for 4 hours, and we never found him. that wasnt too fun considering me and three guys from a neighboring company on the same search had to get up at 6 that morning to go to FF1. not fun. hope all is well and you are keeping safe. keep me updated on what's going on with you guys.
