Busy day for A-Shift

Yesterday was a busy day for 6-Engine. A total of 9 runs for the Engine, 10 for the Medic. Calls ranged any where from flu-like s/s to critical hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) Pt's as well as Stroke pt's. Southeast was also the burrough of car fires yesterday. The first was at Salem AV & Williamson Rd SE on the bridge. A large column of black smoke could be seen pulling off the apron at the house. The second car fire was around 0140 in the 1200 block of 14th St. Both fires had a quick knock down & crews were back in service within 30min. Another call had everyones blood pumping at first when companies from the Southside received calls for a large column of thick black smoke coming from the industrial park. While en route, E11 advised upon pulling out of the house that they had a very large column of black smoke coming from the general direction. Upon arrival of E6, E11, L1, & BC1, further investigation revealed that employees were attempting to get some of the boilers rolling. Pictured are the shots captured of E6 personnel extinguishing the two car fires.
