Today's been slow, which is sometimes a good thing. I'm on the ladder today instead of a medic, so even if we get called out for a medic assist, we don't have to go all the way to the hospital with them. Unless it's an honest to goodness medical emergency... we haven't had one of those today. Our medic has been busy. They've been out on a couple auto accidents, a few sicks. We went with them for a lady with "severe" abdominal pain. We of course go screaming out there in 750 thousand dollars worth of equipment because she called 911, only to learn that she has had this pain for about 6 months and decided that she should probably get it checked out. Our medic has also gone out today for a splinter in a finger. Yep, that's right, a splinter in a finger.
We've had our drill for the day. We've been to the garage to have some work done to the ladder. We've done our house duties... We've even gone out and checked hydrants. It's not like we haven't been busy, just not dealing with sick people.
Tonight we fly helicopters... At least 'till the "big one" comes in.
