    Had that happened, it would have been flattened. We were picking up after extrication training, and as I was climbing down off the top of the cab, I took a step to get down to the walkway on the top rear of our rescue. As I took the step down, RJ turned off the lights of the light tower to put it away. I was already in forward motion to step down, and my eyes werent adjusted to the dark. I missed the step and my boot got wedged in between two cabinet lids and didnt let go of my boot until my falling weight pulled it out. By that point, my foot was already twisted in a position that it shouldnt be in, and I snapped the 5th metatarsil (that dont look right) in my left foot. Stupid RJ.

    Sure, bring 'em. I'll see if I can incorporate them in. Are they passenger or driver side? Ive got some laying around, but I haven't seen them in a while. Someone probably pitched 'em.

    well dont gene. it was a bad fire and you guys did what you could. are you going to have a meeting about it and go over how things went

    May 14, 2008

  • Greg Pierce

    Thats ok, everything worked out. Your boys made you proud......I told them to box crib the back of the flipped car so we could bag it and slide the victim out.
    They made an outstanding box crib. I dont know if you saw it. I took pics. I'll send some if you want 'em.
