BARFF training galore!!

Don't you hate those days when you come in to work and before even having time to take a poo, you gots trainin' to do. That's what happened to the boys and girls here at the Green House this morning. At 0800 hrs we had ....ARFF training....yea! We learned all about runways, taxiways, lights, lines and of course nav points!! Good thing we had Phil Chitwood here from #13 to make iteven more fun. Don't we all look so enthused? Actually, there was really some good information in there and we learned how to get around on the other side of the fence...lol.

After hours of airport training, we were fortunate to hear the soothing sounds of acoustic guitar when Phil broke out his "axe" and played some classic rock. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to hearing his and Tim Jordan's band play when they get up and running.

Later that day we had another Brother from 13 to come fill end for the rest of the shift. Thanks Jason Gardener for coming and hanging out with us (sorry about sticking you on the gut box with Mulford but somebody's gotta do it)

As you know here at 3, alot of us are really playing up the whole "GREEN" aspect of the station.Check out Broadway's new shield for his helmet...

now before you go saying "that's gay" (especially you Stone) the lettering is actually green too, the flash from the camera gave it that blue look. Hey, there's nothing wrong with having a little fun at work right? Plus, someone's gotta start some traditions at a new station.

Well...that's about it for today. It's 2029 and we've ran 4 calls so far today. Saw a bit of smoke from some burning mulch and a chimney fire in 2's first due. Only one EMS call so far today too.

This pic is from the chimney fire...still don't know why they sent 3 engines a ladder a medic truck and Batt2 to a chimney fire but a call is a call. I know what you're thinking Good O....we should get use to seeing the back of fire engines...lol...we'll see. Should be an interesting night tonight. Lt. Broadway is on the seat of 3 Engine, Lt. Good O is on the seat of 9 Engine and 13 Engine is O.O.S. God help us!!! Goodnight all Bothers and Sisters....be safe and come back when you get a chance.
