Change of Quarters

Today Engine 163 and Engine 161 did a change of quarters. The CHG did this to give the truck (161) some much needed TLC after a rough winter. The interior was vacuumed, Armor-Alled, windows washed, and floor scrubbed. Nearly every surface in the cab was cleaned. After the interior was done the cab was raised and the batteries checked. The frame was also rinsed off. Before the cab was lowered the placement for the new hammer was located on the bumper. 158 was sent out to go pick up bolts to mount the hammer. While the two on 158 were gone some R&R took place while listening to the Brewers Spring Training game. Since it was a beautiful day the doors were opened and we sat out front. This was short lived since a call came in. 158 was first due from the hardware store with two. 161 was second due with five. Between the two trucks the situation was mitigated and we headed back. Once back at the station the truck had the hammer mounted. A food run was initiated after this and the badminton set was put up outside. After some badminton and food it was time to go home and call it a day. 161 was taken back to Station 1 and 163 brought back to Station 2.
