So ya wanna fight?

Day Three at the Big Show and we wanted to get all the trucks cleaned up top to bottom before washing out. It is a good thing Adam is not afraid of heights or water or he would have been in trouble. After the Ladder got back they got some help from an unlikely subject (the last time she helped in the kitchen is when there were rumors of moving her out) Just kidding Becky you know you are a big help. Medic 101 did not get to have lunch with today because they were stuck over at the Civic Center for ACC Hockey Tournament. It was so bad that they sent the first AIC home and had to call Jose in as the relief driver. Ran into the boys from Station 9today on the medic unit at the ER and told them about out blog and hope to have it ready so we can get links for 3, 6 and 9 tonight. Young Compton AKA "Smiley" was riding the Medic truck today attempting to get a few more calls in and I have figured out that he is going to be a fight magnet. The first pt we had was assaulted by some "close friends" of his causing a LAC to the top of his head. After convincing him to calm down we loaded him up and headed to the ER to save him from getting arrested. About 6 blocks later he got agitated with the questions we were asking (name, DOB, where does it hurt?) when he attempted to swing at the Young AIC. Once he was convinced hitting was not allowed in the back of the medic unit, he was taken away to the ER with our brothers in blue with a new set of bracelets. Later on in day we were on scene at the Rescue Mission when a large fight broke out into the street. It started out like a playground fight and soon 15-20 were involved but when PD arrived everyone forgot who was involved except the big boy in the yellow coat. I was surprised PD didn't want to pawn him off on us.
Tonight after dinner we had a couple of cuties stop by to show off their stuff.

It was great to have some cute visitors after dealing with some of Roanoke's "finest"
A-shift has been notified about the blog and more info from them is sure to come. I hope to get B-shift involved as well, until next time. . .
