Most of the morning was spent checking the trucks off and getting them prepared for the EMS inspection this week. We went over all the trucks with what we thought was a fine tooth comb.
1st call of the day was for smoke alarms going off inside the apartment building. We found moderate amount of smoke on the second floor. We had a difficult time convincing the residents that they needed to leave the building. We found out that one of the residents while cooking her Easter ham dinner accidentally turned on the wrong eye of her stove melting the plastic.
After clearing the smoke from the building and getting the elevator fixed we allowed the residents back into their apartments to continue the Easter festivities. We headed back to the station washed all the trucks since it turned out to be a rather pretty day. The majority of the day was spent waiting for the next call. We were pleased to know that the fine people of Roanoke decided to behave and celebrate Easter the right way.
Medic 1 Engine 1 had their last call at community hospital/urgent care for a wrist injury that medic 1 took to the ER.
