Storm Clouds Approaching..

As I write this post, I am looking out the window at the lightning in the distance approaching ever so closer. This of course means only one thing.....No Sleep. Today has been a fairly quiet day,but by no means a slow day. The guys on the Engine have been busy setting up pre-plans of new buildings in the first due and saving the city money by preforming maintenance on various equipment around the station. The Medic unit has been steady making it's hourly trip from the station to the hospital. Everyone has been concerned about the recent vote by our city council to cut all city employees pay by 3%. But the only bright side is that it could have been worse..people being layed-off. But we will continue to provide the highest quality of service to the fine citizens of Lynchburg regardless of the hardship we endure. We do ask thought that everyone please shop at our fine stores and dine at our restaurants and help boost the economy to help us all get out of this slump. And with that I hear the thunder boom and the rain pour, so it's time to go to work.

Another Monday...

Well, today feels like a Monday. After a nice weekend, we come to work on a cool and rainy day. We're still in reserve Engine 9 for a few more days as the war wagon is in Roanoke for warranty work. We have been steady today, both the Engine and medic have had there fair share of medical calls. The Engine received it's brand spanking new LifePak 12 today. Now most all of our medical gear is compatible with the Medic unit, hopefully it will make things easier. Well off to bed, we have a Local Union meeting in the morning. Will update you if anything major or exciting happens.

We're Back!!!

After a brief recess of slackness the Park blog is back. Not too much of excitement was missed during my absence. Just the usually alarm and medical calls. Today has brought much of the same, the Medic unit has been busy and the Engine has been right behind them for support. Tonight, much to delight of Medic unit, Medic 9 marked in service for the night. Medic 9 is the Life Saving Crew volunteer unit that takes much of the workload of the medic units but the Engine runs pick up providing ALS support for Medic 9 and we have already helped them out with a CPR. We will keep you updated if anything exciting happens later. In the spirit of Cinco de Mayo, Adios.
