Abnormal Saturday in The East

Saturday began as a non-typical day here at #6. Everyone knows the routine in the fire service on the weekends around here (breakfast, washout, & down time after noon); not the case on Saturday. Due to our yearly entry requirments for confined space, breakfast was eaten @ Erny's. If you haven't eaten here, it's a fine establishment downtown next to Sams on the market. After that, we headed over to the training center to provide equipment for the yearly entries. Personnel from stations 1,2,5,6,7 took part in the training. After crews were done w/ the training everything was put back in to service. The rest of the evening was spent gathered around the radio listening to our fellow brothers in NW fighting what sounded like a good burner. Best of luck to our two brothers that sustained minor injuries, get well soon guys. The engine crew ran a few EMS runs & the medic unit paid for being out-of-service for the majority of the day. The medic unit totaled six runs w/ three of them being after midnight. Below are some shots caught @ the yearly entry training. So long till next time!
