The picture below is a quick snap shot of Engine 1 staging on Jefferson at one of the multiple fire alarms at RMH. I managed to take this while waiting for security to find the front of the building. The engine has been on several calls today for various reasons from alarms to bum fights at the rescue mission.
Ladder 1 has had several runs herself today. Of course they went on the alarms, caught a pedestrian struck by a car, and even managed to get in some saw work at the fire over on Brandon with Engine 4. Luckily the fire started during the day instead of at night, it could've been alot worse than it was. All of the shifts here are happy to have the tiller truck back. Here she is on the fire scene.
If you notice in that picture Investigator 1 got out of the house today for us. It has even answered a couple calls. The Chief and RS1 have been up and down all day for one reason or another.
All together today (combining all 6 units) we've had close to 20 runs. Hopefully (knock on wood) that'll be enough for the emergency services god Motorola tonight.
Sorry we can't bring pulse pounding journalism or special interest stories like the unicycle olympics on C shift but stay tuned, maybe we can drum up some talent of our own (dodge ball with barbells?) who knows.
