Maybe Six Times?

Damn we have some fun.  I've only worked with him no more than half a dozen times, but most of those, we caught some fires.  Happened again about 0600 on the 23rd.  I was already up from a previous run and didn't head back upstairs.  So off we went.  Towards Pine and Whitnall.

We arrived as the 3rd in engine company and as we approached the building, I saw some smoke, but not too much.  Then, once I got a little closer, there were flames blowing out the second floor rear window.  Ok then, that changes things.  Both lines were pulled off of E7 so were went to the rear and assisted pulling some line into the building.  We got upstairs and were informed that someone was still unaccounted for.  We searched, but did not find anyone throughout the second floor.  Soon, the fire was knocked down, bottles began to alarm and people headed out.  After using up our tanks and replacing them outside, we headed back in to overhaul.  I found it a little humorous that I was going back and forth with the nozzle hitting many hot spots.  Oh well.  Got back to 31's after out about two hours.  Was change of shift.  At least for everyone else.  This just ended the first half of my forty eight.
