C-shift has been pretty busy lately.... Between training and testing for yours truly we've also had a couple of fires. The first was a car fire out on OPR. Captain Mike and I handled that one along with Lt. Bradley and Schrotzy. The second fire was a basic room-and-contents house fire...nothing too big, but it was fun to go in and squirt some water. The big news lately is the impending promotion of a new Lt. as well as the hiring of several (possibly 6) new firefighters. I think everyone is pretty excited to have a new officer and a fresh group of probies coming into the department. Now that our training tower is nearly complete, this summer recruit academy promises to be a tough one. I've posted a couple of pics here - Captain Mike looking rather chipper after a particularly brutal night running calls, Eric Wonderly on the same morning also looking wide-awake as he takes down a phone message. The last thing I'll mention is what appears to be the 'end of the line' for our beloved Squirt 471. It appears it has been taken out of service for the last time due to numerous problems with the pump and other issues. It was an oldy but it served us well.
