It has been awhile

Well it has been three weeks since the last post and there was some outrage over the lack of updating.



To begin just as the last post was being uploaded a fire call at one of the nursing homes came across the wire. It seemed that from the reports coming from the dispatch center that a room was involved in fire and had got into the attic. With this report those of us at Station 1 got on Engine 163 and headed south. Upon arrival a moderate smoke condition existed in one of the wings. A 2 1/2 line was pulled into the building along with apartment packs. After about an hour of investigation it was determined that something burnt up in the HVAC unit for the wing and crews cleaned up and returned to quarters.

Other than that the month of January was slow. A majority of the calls were rescue. If a map was used plot our calls most of them would be located on the south side at a certain complex and to our neighbor to the east.

Things have been slow around the Clubhouse as well.
