adminOur first 3 weeks of calls
For Colton standards, the last three weeks have been a little slow, but we’ve still had the opportunity to make it on a few calls. We arrived at the station a little too late to make the apparatus on the first few calls, but then we got organized (gear in the truck, parking nose out, etc.). The first call we both made was for an unconscious man in the middle of the road. We were shocked to have made it on the Rescue Truck before it left the station! Turns out, the guy was just drunk. Our chief was on site first and roused the guy out of his unconscious stupor, so they recalled the rescue vehicle before we made it on scene. Since then, we both made it on a call for a sick elderly woman and a non-injury fall. Brad had made a few more calls since he is always so close to home…like an older guy crushed by a lathe. Then this Saturday, Jodi made her first REAL fire call! Brad had just walked out to the back of the property to play with his new gun when the page went out for a brush fire. Jodi jumped in the little truck and was third to arrive at the station! She was on Engine 125 with Chris and Kent and, once on site, was told to pull the pre-connect hose and work the nozzle (she got to be the one to actually put out the fire!) About an acre of land was burned… click below to hear the actual page from C-Com (AKA 9-1-1).
