Peoria Fire Department

Beep...Beep...Beep....smack, crash shit I said as I roled out of bed this morning. I walked to the bathroom and threw myself into the shower. I stood there thinking about I shouldn't have stand at my girlfriends till 11:00 last night even though the BEARS game was on! 5:00 in the morning damn, I'm tired, cold and i just want to climb back under those warm blankets of mine and sleep. I walked back into my room and sat there the got my blue pants and a navy blue shirt out and put on a different uniform for the day. I jumped up into my truck and off to eureka I went. I ment up with one of my friends dad Mark. He is a Peoria Firefighter. I was going to ride/work with the Peoria Fire Department! As we drove to Peoria I couldn't wait to get there hoping we would have a fire or something good. I was dressed just like the other guys there, navy blue pants and a navy blue peoria fire/rescue shirt on. We had our very first call of the day a fire alarm! I was riding with Mark in the Ladder truck which by the way I got to go up in the bucket which was freakin awesome. The alarm was nothing so we came back to the fire house. We went out and did business checks and then went to walmart to get food for dinner. After that we went back to the fire house ate lunch and got a call for lifting assistance. After that were back at the fire house and I'm still working here until 9:00-10:00pm tonight.

  1. Tell us about the bucket! I love the details! What about pictures? Do you have a digital camera? Can you document your rides each week with a picture?

    Exciting!
