Friday in the Hill City turned out to be a busy one, with what seems like half of the department in medic class during varying parts of the day, we made do on the Engine by putting work in early on a few medicals along with the Medic. Truck 1 was down for the count, so Truck 2 had the city, which gave them the opportunity to run pretty much all day between both battalions, strong work fella's. Late afternoon, E6, M6, T2, R1, EMS-2, and B2 caught a pin job in the city near the hospital. I didn't get pictures so I posted the news link:
WSET.com - ABC13 - Update: Man Hit By SUV In Critical Condition
When it was toned out, M1 and E1 were working on clearing from an assault a couple blocks down, naturally, being the tech rescue station, B2 got us to start that way with the trailers in case we had to shore the house in question. We got there a little late after they had transported the patient, but as usual, the second battalion guys did a helluva job mitigating the situation all the while providing aggressive advanced life support treatment to the patient. St. 1 ended up bringing USAR 1 and 2 to the scene after we were added to the run card. We cleared from that, got back a little before 7, and I finished cooking dinner, which I might add was delicious (not bragging or anything).
On a different note, St. 1 will be losing a member in 2 weeks, more on that later. We're back Monday, I'll be sure to keep you posted.
The Big House is the Lynchburg Fire Department's Station 1. Located at 801 Clay Street, we are the technical rescue station for the city. We house an Engine, Ladder, Medic, 2 USAR Trucks, 2 Zodiac boats and a Battalion Chief.
