This was one of my long, exhausting 2 days...
Yesterday (Fri), worked my normal 24hr shift on the ambulance. Got off early at 7:30am (Sat)..good thing, a call came in at 7:31 for Anaphalaxis (alergic reaction).
Then I went straight to the fire station, met the fire chief, and we went to Pittsburgh for a Fire & EMS Expo. Waited a 1/2 hr in the registration line (crowded). Browsed the floor for a while, then went to a conference which went over by 1/2 hr, then browsed the floor again (I bought an LED window light!). We also saw a water rescue demonstration by Pittsburgh Fire. Then on return to Ohio....
Firefighter Challenge put on by our fire neighbors in Ellsworth. We put 2 teams in the challenge doing events:
Event 1: Cot race...our team 1 (me) took 1st place
Event 2: Tug-o-War..our team 2 came in 3rd place
Event 3: Water Shuttle, our team 2 came in 2nd place, our team 1 (me) came in 3rd place
Event 4: Relay challenge, which included a hose run, hydrant hookup, gear donning, etc. We only had 1 team due to a call (which I ran on), and it came in 3rd.
Overall a busy 2 days...Whew!!!!
