Our pagers toned out at 4am this morning for a working fire! A car fire quickly turned into a structure fire when the home owner’s auto shop became engulfed. Brad and I responded on E123 from Elwood. On scene, Brad was preparing the engine to pump water and I was ready on the nozzle, when he tripped over a rock! He sucked it up and continued pumping throughout the rest of the morning but once we were done with the fire, we grabbed some breakfast and headed to the emergency room. Great news! He didn’t break it; just a bad sprain requiring an air splint for the next 2-4 weeks. Very exciting for our first ‘line of duty’ injury!
