    wow... four trucks for a brush fire! that's insane... we get nothing like that. i haven't been on a real call in ages! everything seems to be happening while i'm at school, but we got a nice basement fire with flames through the roof a couple of days ago. i had just got out of the shower after lacrosse practice, and heard the tones go off. since there was a storm outside i figured it was just wires into a tree, and i was completely beat, so i yelled down to my dad and told him i wasn't going. i regretted that the minute i looked at my pager... ugh. i really need a good call i can make!!! what good is all this training if i cant use it?!?! well, hope all is well with you!

    wow. you have no clue how jealous i am right now!!! we have been dead quiet so im just waiting for one of those days where we get like ten working calls in one day. we're due for one of them. unfortunately it will probably happen while im away for spring break. training has been pretty fun recently though, minus getting completely soaked with a white t-shirt on for sprinklers and nearly getting my arms pulled out of their sockets for RIT training (being the only junior there, i got to be the victim for most of the times) how is everything with you, in and out of the department? hope you're staying safe with all those calls!!!
