FUN FILLED NIGHT IN
QUARTERS |
11/02/07 -
With it finally beginning to feel like fall around here
again, the Chief decided it was time to start up another
season of engine room wiffle ball. Just as members and
their families were arriving at the station, Local Box
5-12 was struck for an AFA at the Eastern Shore Animal
Hospital. Engine 67 responded with a crew of 4 within
seconds of the station being alerted. Engine 67 arrived
approx. 2 minutes later and investigated the alarm.
A short while later, while promoting inter-company
relations (w/ QA Chief 5) QA Rescue Box 5-9 was struck
for the MVA at Church Hill Rd and Rolphs Wharf Rd, with
the River City Volunteers being alerted for the Rescue.
Engine 67 added itself to the call and arrived just
behind Chief 5 to find a 4 vehicle accident. Crews
assisted with pt. care, securing hazards, and scene
lighting. The Rescue responded within a minute of
dispatch with a crew of 6 and assisted with fluid and
debris cleanup. Fire Police from Station 6 assisted PD
with traffic control as Rt. 213 was completely closed to
traffic for approx. 1 hour.
Once everybody returned to quarters, teams were drawn
up, and a fun filled evening of wiffle ball commenced.
Unfortunately the game was cut short due to another
call. This time it was for an AFA at the new Kent Center
facility 215 Scheeler Rd. The Engine, Tower and Chief
hit the street all within a minute, arriving to find a
malfunctioning alarm. Crews returned just in time to put
all the equipment away, spend some time socializing, and
then take all the sleepy kids (and parents) home to bed.
While all this was going on, the Auxiliary was holding a
Vera Bradley Bingo fundraiser.
The calls this evening brought our yearly total to 523
alarms for the year. With just shy of 2 months to go, we
are on a pace to approach, or break the 600 call mark by
the end of the year. |
