Sent off

Yesterday I got sent off to another station for the day since they needed another medic. Had my choice of staying at my house and running the Squad again or going off. I knew my chances of being on the engine if I went to the other station were pretty good, so thats where I went. Plus a buddy of mine from the academy is now stationed there so it was all good. The house I got assigned to is much slower than mine.. they average maybe 3-5 calls, although we stayed kinda steady.

Had a call for a guy hit by a train. The train hit some scaffolding that the guy ws working on hanging from a bridge. Another call for a gas leak.. we seem to be getting lots of them lately. Stand by and wait for the gas company to come WITH the repair crew... pull a line (just in case).. and then pack up and head home.
Had another call for a strange odor coming from an apartment. Turns out someone mixed bleach with sulphuric acid... thats pretty much all I can say about it at this moment.

But I am home and chilling and getting the new house more situated. Painting some picture frames and building some furniture is keeping me busy. Busy is good.
