Quite surprised when I walked into 23's on January 3rd. Offered to drive either the engine or the truck. Wanted more wheel time, so I choose the engine.
Fire tones off early in the day to a chimney fire at a residence around the corner from my home. Nothing major, as we got picked up shortly after we got on scene. Took a few more runs the rest of the day. That was until around 11pm. Fire tones for a structure fire at El Rey on 51st and Oklahoma. As we approached that intersection, the whole parking lot was filled with smoke. 23's was the second in engine so I supplied 33's from a hydrant across Oklahoma. Didn't really care that I cut off access to Oklahoma. They needed water. Was good to act again and actually do some work with the engine.
After returning, got the rig squared away and ready for the next one. Was shortly after 1am when a squad run came in. Nothing major. Just someone experiencing chest pain after getting pulled over by the police. Yeah, sure. Took two more squad runs after 6am.
It's been a good stretch since Christmas Eve.
