Cold, busy, bring it on

Yeah, were still here. Yesterday, with the truck company down for the count, the Big Show braced for a busy day in the Hill City's Downtown. With both of the Captains riding up front, Neil and I handled backstep responsibilities. We got off to a good start, running a sheared sprinkler in the Genworth parking deck. With the truck OOS, Rescue 1 was added to the run and assisted with shutting off the riser. All I gotta say about that is thank goodness the squad gods (Ben and Miles) brought Thor (Travis). Apparently the smallest shutoff was just too much for us engine guys. We put work in on a few more EMS runs, downtown MVC and fire alarm bringing the days total to 6. The medic unit, however, ran all day, saw them briefly for a dinner break then they were back to it. On a side note, I lost about half of my eyelashes and forearm arm hair lighting the grill. This week is going to be busy, we've got ITLS next work day, then on Friday, 4 of us (Van, Pebble, Mike and myself) will be headed to Sanford, NC for a Big Rig Rescue Class held at the Coastal Carolina Comm. College. I'll be sure to take a few and put 'em up.
