GRR, WHY??? You know, sometimes I really do wonder why I do the whole FireFighting and EMS thing. Then I remind myself because it is in my blood and runs in the family. I love this kind of thing, and can't imagine doing anything else. Well, this is why I asked myself that question today. BTW, this **** happened to me yesterday on my 24 hour shift.....
**4:30am: Woke up because my body told me to.
**5:15am: Medical Call, Bull**** as usual.
**5:45am: Jumped on the Engine to run an illegal burn.
**6:00am: Climbed back into bed to relax before getting up at 7
**6:20am: Medical call, guy was shot in the balls, and rode his bicycle 10 miles before calling 911. His buddy was picked up by one of our other units who was pistol whipped. **7:50am: Medical call, 10 minutes before shift change. Ran a call on an infant 1 year old, he died on us. Mother dropped him in a 5 gallon bucket of water, grease, and bleach.
Sorry i guess I should of put this earlier. She said she was cleaning her house, WHO THE **** CLEANS HOUSE AT 7:50AM???
