   *Looking around I notice that EMS is handling the patient now, and even notice some SD clearing, the car was in the hands of SD now and there didn't look to be anything left for us to do.*
   "Command to Engine 11 and Rescue 1, lets make sure we got all our stuff and then we're good to get out here."
   *I walk over to Lafferty just to let him know, though he had already begun taking a look around anyway.*
   'Scenes all yours'
   *I say offering a small before heading back toward Engine 11*

   High Speed MVA

   July 18, 2020

   *I keep watch over the action around the car, listening to the radio as well as watching to get the information I needed. I trusted the crews to do their thing without any issue, so I let them handle it after giving the initial orders.*
   "Command copies Rescue 1"
   *I acknowledge the radio call and watch as EMS handles the patient, happy that we got EMS into the car quickly and safely.*

   2020 Camping Trip

   July 18, 2020

   *I see the guy in the wheelchair drive it up to the water and blinks slightly*
   'Hey.'
   *Is all I say before slipping under the water and coming back up with a smile.I grin slightly as I hear Stone's comment about chasing pretty girl, and grin even more as I see him wink at me, I smile a bit wider toward him for a second before slipping back under the water and relaxing in it*
   'This water is amazing isn't it?'
   *I say to no one in particular as I relax, watching Rogers bring stone a beer before I look toward the campsite to see what the others are doing.*
   'Seems like a lot of people just want to relax for the moment...though this water is just as relaxing as sitting in a chair out there would be, at least to me.'

   2020 Camping Trip

   July 15, 2020

   *I smile as Stone and Rogers tell me to join them, I think about it for a moment looking at Burke and then back to Stone. Why not. I slip my shoes, socks, and pants off and pull off my shirt leaving just my bikini, but before I can hop in the water I hear this rumbling sound coming down the path.*
   'What the fuck...?'
   *I say quietly to myself, turning to look in its direction only to see an RV come smacking through trees into the campsite.*
   'Who the hell.'
   *I say as it parks, I turn my attention back to Stone and Rogers*
   'You seeing this shit?'
   *I look back to the RV one more time before deciding it wasn't worth questioning anymore and hopping into the water*

   *Once I finished eating I cleaned up a bit and just relaxed by the fire deciding to just wing it myself. Staying by the fire to relax a bit as Hawke and Stone and toss Burke into the lake, I just grin and head over myself*
   'Nice toss Stone.'
   *I say as I head over, noticing Rogers grabbing for Stone's hand*
   'I guess everyones gonna go for a swim.'

   *I watch the power company do their thing, they get the power shut off and one of them comes over to me.*
   'Powers off. You can safely get in there now.'
   'Alright. Thanks.'
   "Engine 11, Rescue 1. The powers out, lets get to work."
   *I decide to put it over the radio to make spreading the word easy. I then make my way over to the vehicle, checking it over as my team gets to work.*

   July 8, 2020

   *I Hop out of the engine, slipping my helmet on my head as Valentine brings us to a stop and take a quick look toward the car and pole*
   'Well, first thing to do when we get the all clear is check the damage on the car. See if we can get the doors open without the jaws, if not we'll be cutting or spreading depending on the damage. Its hard to tell what we are dealing with from here and with no word on the power, I'm not having us move in.'
   *After taking a look I grab my radio and call in to dispatch*
   "Engine 11 is on scene, Do we have any update on getting the power off?"
   *I hope one of the dispatchers at least has an idea if no one on scene did*

    *I smirk at Stone's reply to the S'mores, it was pretty much the same thing I would do though, in fact the S'mores were definitely on my mind, I couldn't wait to start making them. But lunch was cooked, so I grab myself some food and sit back and relax as I eat my sandwich.*
    'Foods great..anyone got any plans for the rest of the day or are we all just seeing what happens?'

   ((It's that time of the year again.  Time for the annual camping trip.  In character wise this trip last 3 days, unspecified, in summer but out of character it lasts the entire summer.  Meaning this thread gets locked on September 1st.  This trip we'll be camping off of Murphy's Lake in Ponderosa Pine's State Park.  It's roughly a ten minute walk from the parking lot to the camping site that is roughly the size of 1 acre.  All members of ERT are invited regardless of what department they are in.  Yes, this also includes the dispatchers and the commissioner.  We'll start off in the morning at around 8am.  It's sunny with no clouds and warm.))

   Kimberley Lumber Mill, Working Fire

   Started by H. Goodricht · March 6, 2020

   ENGINE 11, LADDER 31, UNIT 22, additional resources below. WORKING STRUCTURE FIRE, KIMBERLEY LUMBER MILL. 
   *As I walk around the bullpen, Charles flags me down before I even get to speak to anyone else. I walk straight over there.*
   'What's wrong-'
   'KVFR. They're upgrading to commercial structure fire.'
   'Jesus? This late? It's been what, 3 hours?'
   'Yeah, I guess it's not under control. I'm toning out a full commercial alarm. But our primaries are down. Clinton'
   'I just looked at it. Go with 6, 1 and 4. They all available?'
   'Yeah. One second. I'll send those.'
   'I'm going to set up in the EOC. I want you in there with me. Something tells me, if this is an upgrade 3 hours in, it should've been upgraded 3 hours ago.'
   'I know.' He says, trailing off.
   *I log into the EOC computer, bringing up the active emergency screen and opening this call. Kimberley. Fucking Useless. I think to myself. Seconds after it loads, I see the SCFD units get updated. The Screen now reads:
   KV-E1 - O/S KV-U1 - O/S KV-U2 - O/S KV-R1 - O/S KV-T1 - O/S SC-E11 - TONE SC-E14 - TONE SC-E16 - TONE SC-L31 - TONE SC-L32 - TONE SC-R2 - TONE SC-Q24 - TONE SC-22 - TONE SC-RIT - TONE SC-T31 - PAGE SC-T32 - TONE *Man that's gonna be a lot of trucks. I lean across the desk, and catch a glimpse of Aylward's desk light flicking from yellow to off, meaning he's off dispatching, signed off and on his way to the on site EOC. Hopefully it's enough to handle it all. Grabbing the radio mic I was reaching for, I switch to county comms and key up.* 
   "50-12, ERT."
   *after a few seconds, I hear a response.*
   "50-12."
   "We just got an upgrade to commercial structure fire on the Kimberley call. We've moved to the management center."
   "Yeah okay, 10-4. I'll continue in and meet you there."
   *He's going to be pissed.I think, to myself, though I'm sure my face says it out loud too. As Aylward enters the EOC, I look to him with obvious concern.*
   'We've got a hell of a shit show brewing I think. Any word on just how big of one it is?'
   'Well, I just saw on Twitter... It's. Well, here, you take a look'
   *With that, a picture loads up on his phone, nothing but a column of thick black smoke.*

   Small Equipment Fire

   Started by H. Goodricht · February 4, 2020

   *I look around the room and see a lot of yellow lights on at the dispatch terminal. With that, my phone buzzes with the familiar monotone alarm, reflexively, I answer the call.*
   '911, What's your emergency?'
   'Shit man, my snow blower, it was just going, and now it's burning!'
   'Okay sir, I need you to back away from it and get anyone near you to stay away as well.'
   *I've heard about some other small equipment fires over the years that have caused small explosions with a BIG impact.*
   'Alright Sir, what's your address? I'll have fire on the way.'
   'Shit. Shit. Shit. I'm on the corner of... Uh North 5th and Lyons Ave. It's my girlfriend's house. Hurry! Fuck, I can't burn down her house!'
   'Yes sir, units are already on the way. Is there anything near the snowblower? Anything that can catch fire?'
   'I guess, my truck, it's like 4 feet away from my truck's back. And her place, it's like 20 feet away? I don't know.'
   'Okay sir, keep away from the fire and if it starts to spread call us back right away.'
   'Of course'
   'Goodbye.'

   MVA With Injuries

   Started by H. Goodricht · January 15, 2020

   Engine 12, Squad 1, Medic 5, Medic 1, 2x Sheriff Units. 
   Dekalb & N 1st. Tbone collision, minor injuries reported. 
   "911 what is your emergency?"
   "I've just been t-boned. I don't think I'm hurt, but I can't get out of my car. The door is stuck."
   "Okay, where are you located right now?"
   "I think it's... Dekalb and N1st."
   "Okay, help is on the way." I say, as I start entering the information and activate the tones at SCFD Station 1 for resources. "Is anyone hurt?"
   "It's just me in here, I'm okay, but I think the other driver is pretty beat up. He's got blood on his forehead, and, it looks like there's someone in the back seat too."
   "Can you call out to him?" 
   "No, I mean, I don't think so, his music is still playing pretty loud."
   "Okay, the fire department is on the way. Goodbye."
   *I key the call information and activate the tones for medics 1 and 5. If everything is working right, they should be activating at the station right now, followed by the computerized dispatch voice.
   Engine 12, Squad 1, Medic 5, Medic 1 respond to Dekalb Street and North First Avenue for Motor Vehicle Accident with Injuries.
   I toggle the microphone for sheriff dispatch. 
   "ERT to units in the area of Fort Shannon. MVA with injuries at Dekalb and N 1st Ave, two units to respond to scene."
   *I sit back and wait a minute to see if any units respond, or if the system truly isn't working and we need to go back to the old system, again. I hope it works.*
