Full House



Today was one of those days when you start out on one truck and wind up on the other trucks at least once before the day was done. Today we had a full station 2 College of Health Sciences Fire students and two Radford Nursing students. We had Stoval riding with EMS Capt. Bocock attempting to get his last call so he can get checked off. We now have a new card carrying EMT-I many know him as Smiley, but congrats to J. Compton AKA "Smiley". By the time he gets done jumping through all of the hoops to get turned loose he can retire. If you get a chance, tell him congrats. Today A. Fleming's daughter came by the station to have lunch with dear old dad and asked him if she could take a picture for her photography class. As you can see above we did our best to oblige. This is everyone except our boy Hunt. He is on vacation this cycle and is being missed by all. The reserve ladder was taken to the shop yesterday and replaced with Ladder 7 and is busting at the seams with all of our equipment. Tonight at dinner we had 18 eating and our beautiful huge table was not big enough. It started slowing down this evening after the students went home and we hope for a good night.
