November 27th 2005…

Today has been a pretty good day so far. I started the day with a simple gas leak on a stove. Nothing special just turned the gas off and we were gone. The real action cam at about 11:45am.

We are dispatched to a motorcyclist down. Yes! We suit up and are on our way. When we arrive on scene we find a male motorcyclist down on the side of the road. His motorcycle is laying just a few yards away in the grass. I am immediately sent to traffic detail but luckily for me I was able to see the majority of what was going on.

He was conscious but was unable to get off the ground. The paramedic and the other firefighters on scene put him in full C-spine.

While listening to the radio there was a lot of talk about possibly landing a chopper in a nearby field, but as the chopper circled he scene, the paramedic determined that he wasn’t in any life threatening damage, and decided to transport by ambulance.

So, another call that was kind of boring since there was nothing for me to do other then traffic control. But it was pretty cool to go to anyway.

If I get any more interesting calls tonight I will be sure to post them up tomorrow.
