fire station excitement

the last two shifts have been pretty slow, even for station 10. today started with some excitement, a small (very small) fire at a local high school. it was a full alarm so 3 fire engines, a fire truck, the battalion chief, and me in my utility (water boy) truck. when i got out and walked over to meet my crew i was greeted by a group of high school students asking "hey, who ordered a stripper?" kids are so clever. i told them to stay in school and say no to drugs. other than that, i spent my day reading my text books and examining the fire stations sprinkler system. in the afternoon the my captain brought us out to practice throwing ladders up onto a building which was really a trick to get me to wash the windows. so not only did i sharpen my skills our windows look great now. so i will probably head to bed now, so i can get some sleep before the next elderly person falls out of bed.
