My favorit call came over spring brake during brush fire season. There was someone burning a small pile of brush really close to there house and they went inside to get a drink and when they got back out side the side of there house was on fire along with the woods. It took a good 3 hours to get the fire under controle and another 2 hours to get it completly out. 8 fire departments were brought in to help. The house only sufferd miner damages.

It just goes to show how fast things can get out of hand.

Just Wondering on average, how many calls you get a day? My dept. averages 2 a day but the past 3 days we have not had one. I'm thinking its because I got my new gear 3 days ago. lol

Most of my calls are EMS but we usally get 1 or 2 fire calls a week.

Here in NY state we have to be 18 to take the ems coures. I am going to take the course next summer as a collage course. My dept. is down on EMT's, we only have one EMT during the day. So the sooner I take the coures the better.

My favorit truck to ride on would probobly have to be our brush/EMS truck 43-3. Its a ford F-550 crew cab with EMS supplys and a 250 gallon water tank. It also carrys brooms, shovles, and other brush fire stuff. Its the truck right next to this comment.

thats a sweet looking truck. u were talking about riding in the jump seat in one of your trucks. In NY they just pased a law prohibiting the use of jump seats, but we all know its the best place to ride. The state made an exeption for us and they allow us to use the jump seats on our oldest truck 43-7 its a 1986 hann pumper with a 3 man cab and 2 jump seats. THe made the exeption for us because we have been having so many problens with our other trucks. My first structer fire I got to ride in the jump seat because 43-7 was our only truck in sevice at the time.

Hope she was all right. The last acident I had was saturday, a guy crashed his motercycle and slid down the road 50 yards from where his bike was. he had so much road rash that it was even on this feet, but other than that he was fine.

Haha I bet your girlfriend loved that.

Last night around 6pm we had a reported structer fire. I just steped onto the truck and they called a signal 10. It turned out someone saw smoke and it was just someone having a BBQ.

This mornig on my way 2 work I was going past the station and are tones went off so I went. Just an EMS call. It's not like they needed me at work anyways.

Had a reported structer fire come in Friday morning. When we got there there was smoke comming out the front doors and windoes. Luckly someone ran in there with a bucket of water and put the fire out before it got out of control.
