Made it through Christmas!

Made it through Christmas and Christmas Eve without a single call. Did anyone else get this lucky?

Got paged out last night at around 7:30 for mutual aid involving a structure fire. Got bunker pants on and was canceled.

That's nice it got disregarded at least. Hope you didn't miss any supper!

Food was served around 6:30. I had just poured a drink when the page out occurred.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you and the crew ok?

We will be. We’ve done a Crisis Intervention and a couple of prayer vigils, including one that a local church came to the station and prayed with us.

Glad to hear it. Glad the community is coming together. Let me know if you need an extra ear or something.
