Firehouse 3: A Shift back at the wheel

Take it Easy is more than just a hit song recorded by the Eagles, it has been the theme for the engine crew today. The engine only broke free from the concrete floor for a bit so the boys could go get the necessary supplies for breakfast and dinner. The medic crew however has been out there "gettin' it done!"

Speaking of breakfast, we are finally starting to put a dent in the mammoth bag of pancake batter provided by Lt. Bradbury, whom is off today celebrating his wife's birthday, Happy Birthday Tiff! Below is a picture of the 10 pound "bag of goodness" that quite possibly could feed all of Greenland, population 56,344 as of 2007.

While we are on the topic of food, with no exciting emergencies to speak of, why not show some firehouse life? In true MTV "Cribs" form, here is a pic of the A shift refrigerator. Nothing too exciting yet as we have not been stationed here long, however it is only a matter of time before some cool science experiments and penicillin supplies are being grown. Just your basic condiments, some left over pork chops from last day, moo and orange juice, Mulford made some banana pudding today that after eating has been likened to having a "crack addiction." Also noteworthy is the ridiculously large can of fried apples, also provided by Broadway and his bargain shopping skills!

Lastly, there is some controversy at Station 3. Earlier we described why the station has been dubbed the "Green House" due to it's environmentally friendly construction. However today it was noted in the parking lot there are some vehicles driven by the firefighters whom work at the green house that leave a larger than necessary "carbon footprint." How is it possible that the same folks whom strive to save mother earth for 24 hours while at work slap her in the face on their days off by driving these gas guzzlers? Yes, hard to believe I know, so in order to prove my point, photographs were taken of the "offending" vehicles. Note the "oversized" SUV tire, and the badging proudly displaying the totally unecessary number of cylinders required to move that vehicle down the road. This will be investigated further and we will report our findings.
