C-Shift Re-cap

1000 hits! Many thanks to the design and publishing team, aka myself, on accomplishing such a feat. Just kidding, but seriously, it's been awhile since I updated, so to bring you all up to speed on the happenings around here. B-shift caught an underground transformer fire downtown a week ago, and the pictures were too dark to even tell what was going on, but from what I hear, they were down there a good couple hours flowing water and foam to control it. The next day on C-shift, the Fire Prevention office lady, Jenny Mayberry, set up a station tour for some Kindergarten students from Lynchburg Christian Academy. I'm hoping the kids and parents had a good time, 4 yr olds are tough to read sometimes. Anyway, we were glad to show them the station and trucks.

The next work day I got shipped off to St. 3 to ride backstep on Lynchburg's busiest engine company (according to them). A. Morton chauffeured, while K. Turner rode boss. All in all a great day, we stayed busy during the day, knocking out a few fire runs and medicals. B. Barber (squadman) cooked a delicious salmon dinner, which, consequently we ate while watching a hellacious storm pass through the city which eventually dumped a couple tornados out in the county. The Rescue is OOS, something about a PTO, so the guys are using USAR 2 until they get the Rescue back.

A couple things before I get out of here, first, there's a possibility of selling some St. 1 t-shirts, custom obviously, there'll be a sign-up posted in a few days. Second, some of the guys are going to the Walter Sisk Memorial Truck School in Charlottesville, so I'll be sure to get the guys to take some pics. For now, Pebble and I are going to hold this little medic unit down 'til 0730 tomorrow.
