Busy day for the Prides Crew

Well, as the other blogs have posted, it has been one busy day over here also. The Medic truck left this morning runnin calls, barely made it back for lunch and back out the door again and we did not see them until 7pm. The engine crew has been steady also with house work, changing trucks (we got our old girl back), Food Tiger for meals. Just as we were finishing lunch we had a walk in from across the street and it was for a 1 month old with difficulty breathing, I have never been so glad to hear a baby cry as today. Everything turned out fine for the child and Mother.

After lunch we did some more HTR training with FF David Lucas' invention "The Roanoke Boom". After the last drill with this device, FF Lucas tweaked this device into a workable unit and it worked very well. Here are some pics of it in use.

As we were picking up from the drill, we got a service to call to the house on 6th st that was on fire the other evening for the til roof blowing in the wind and upon arrival we found what was left and may I say, B-shift you did a great job on this one. I snapped a few pics as we looked at the tin roof. Here's a couple

Not long after we left there we got a run for an MVA at Tazewell & 8 1/2 st. No apparent serious injuries but the female that was in the car was packaged and transported.

After this call it was back to the house to start dinner. Everyone (well not the medic boys, they were tearing the road up) chipped in and helped get the grub going and on the table. Chicken casserole, steamed broccoli, a bean medley and some hot rolls. MMM MMMM GOOD STUFF.

After dinner we washed the trucks up and finally at 21:00 hrs. we kicked it of gear and put our feet up. Hope since we ran all day, we can stay in tonight. Every be safe and remember "Don't do drugs"
