Like us on last day, he got to fight a little fire(notice where he's standing, hint hint). 
As I mentioned above we did catch a little job yesterday. Not a whole lot to it but a little basement fire, but it was a working fire none the less. L2 was the first to arrive on scene and pulled their line to make the initial knockdown. E3 and M3 were getting our learn on out with Chief Manuel at the airport when the alarm went out and we were the next Engine in after having to jump our own call! We were all deeply saddened to have our ARFF training cut short by this silly fire. E3 brought the water in from a stubborn red-top and then layed an attack line in from side "C" into the basement. The fire was pretty well knocked down so we did a thourough overhaul and hung out til Joe and Becky cleared up. Other units on scene were M3, E2, E5, E9(oh yeah, can't forget the "heros" hehe), BC2, Jimmy on the service truck, Chris Price, and the investigators(sorry if I left anyone out). Also, thanks to Salem firefighter/paramedic student Hunter(ridin M3) for helpin out on scene. Here's a few shots of the aftermath I took with my phone. Joe Hodgin investigating the fire, I think the cause may have been "mice with matches"....
If you look above the washing machine you'll notice a burnt up pipe hanging from the ceiling. We think this little buggar may have helped reduce the damage done by the fire.
Look in the center of this one, what do you see? Thats right kids, a propane tank!
In the top of this pic you can see the "guts" of a flexible air duct, I think our fire investigators may have got a better pic of this to be used in future training of the hazards of this stuff.
