been a long weekend
Well I used to run with a volunteer fire dept for about 4 years. I moved 120 miles away about 3 years ago and never got with the fire dept here. Well I have been helping them out....and this weekends just been soooo long. In the last 72 hours I think weve averaged about 8 hours of sleep. Weve been to a bunch of brush fires, a semi fire and i went on a rollover with my regular job.

Dam TX, you're keeping busy. That sounds like a hell of a good time tho'.. I used to drive tow truck and would rotate on city and state call, man some of those scenes were almost too much. Loved rolling up on them tho'..
At least being busy, keeps you out of trouble!!

yeah the guys i run with here harassing me calling me a rookie...till i mentioned the fact that i had more experience than one of them. Usually its just 2 or 3 people most that respond to fire calls....so I had to help my buds out. Now im trying to get my laundry done
