Hey Heather,
Just setting here stranded in an Iowa snow storm.
I'm afraid it's been a bad weekend for our department.
Our fire chief''s 9 year old son passed away, unexpectedly, so we're in shock here at the station.
We had a busy week this week for calls, too.
So, hoping for a better week ahead.
Hope All is Well with YOU!

Thanks Heather, we've got our work cut out for us to get through this, but this is a good family to be in when things like this happens.
Sorry, too drop that one on you.
So what's going on in your area, department or exciting in your life?
Looks like you have a long family history in the fire fighting world, impressive. I know my father & grandfather were firefighters, then I'm not sure because our family came over from Sweden. They were farmers, thats about all I know.
Well, Take Care, we're freezing here in Iowa.

Well, the funeral went off here with a big turn out from fire/ems/police, along with family & friends.
They had the funeral & burrial in Colorado today.
While I was at my day job, one of our EMT's was injured seriously on a rescue today and became the second patient.
We had a nasty snow storm last night, I had to go rescue one of our fire fighters who went off the road on her way home.
So, we're ready for some warm weather and better times. Usually life around here isn't so dramatic. It's just been one of those years so far.
So, what's new with you? I guess I got a bit windy, I should of sent this as a message.
Well, looking forward to hearing what's happening in your life!

Hey Heather,
All are doing better. They're both back on their feet. The EMT is still taking it slow from her fall on the ice. The fire fighter who injured his leg in the house fire call, is doing pretty good. We've been running medicals mostly, it's too early for the grass and field fires to start up again. When we have several days of warm or hot weather that's when the fire calls will start coming in.
How's things over your way?
Take Care Heather!

i was right! we have gotten busy! I just cant figure out why people set fires to grass when we have 35mph winds..and next to the interstate too! how you doin?

Hi Heather,
No the weather hasn't decided whether to be warm or cold. It snowed a little again this morning, so the dry and dead grasses and fields are still wet. When it warms up for several days and stays dry, thats when it will cut lose.
How bout you, what's happening for you?

Hi Heather !
I just got home after working a 12 hrs. shift and will go to bed soon & do another one again in the morning. 03:30 hrs. to 15:30 hrs.. It's our spring celebration at Iowa State University, called Veishea. It also is ISU's 150th Birthday this year as well. In years past we've had riots that end up spoiling the fun. This year it was snowing and snow's in the forecast for tonight as well.
Then we have a historical assignment we're working along with that, that is six weeks long, so we are over worked right now. Then I run fire & medical calls on the FD in between, when I'm home.
What's new with you?

Hi Heather!
I was wondering about you the other day.
I was going to give you a shout to see what you've been up too, since I haven't heard anything out of you.
However, I know how that goes.
Things have picked up. Mostly medical calls, but at least we're getting paged out.
Things are hot here and drying out, so we should be seeing some fire calls this fall.
Good to hear from you.
Take Care Now!

Hi Heather!
Thought I'd give you a shout while I have a minute. Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. This gets to be my busy time of year at work. Student's are back and it get very busy.
There for awhile we were running alot of medical calls. In two days we had three heart attack calls. That's pretty busy for a small town squad. Not to mention our medical squad was on-duty at the Farm Progress Show in another town, several days in a row. So we have the second out equipment we have to put on one of the other trucks.
How about you. What are you doing for fun this fall?
Take Care & give me a shout when you can.
