   * i unclip aswell when im roughly half way down the stick taking a second to secure my tank before i set the saw down on the truck  safely outta the way but near enough should for whatever reason it be needed again its in easy reach i can stow it later when we go to move,in the same set of steps i move around to where we have our ground ladders and get that set as i undo ,y coat and shift my airpack so everything's more comfortable glancing up at the building   a moment before moving to grab a bottled water ,which i opt to chug nearly emptying it in the process if only cause its hot in turnouts waiting for just where im putting the ladder which ii had set on the ground i so i could drink*

   Kimberley Flooding Disaster Aid

   Started by W. Burke · August 3, 2023

   Timewarped assistance, ERT activation with call up of SC Resources to aid with disaster aftermath including search and rescue, and flood mitigation efforts. Also a great place to work on some character stuff. 
    
   Pulling into Kimberley, I flick the lights of my SUV while approaching the roadblock. The SAR volunteer moves the roadblock out of the way and I only slow to a safe speed while passing, instead of making the full stop. I reach down and turn off  the lights as I make my way to the unified command post at the school parking lot to check in. Thank god we don't have the KVFD any more. 
   I park my unmarked behind the satcomm vehicle, making care not to block in the white Tahoe used by our dispatchers for their commute. Something about paying extra to drive to Kimberly from home, instead of from the office. Should be time for them to leave soon, and return to the headquarters building. I make a mental note to buy a second one, as now we've got two staff cars tied up for dispatchers to commute, since we can't leave the command post without a radioman, and we can't expect them to teleport. And the county board wouldn't approve a helo transport twice daily. I look in the mirror as I get out and see the white mininvan that serves as 50-84 pulling down the road. Looks like the relief has arrived for the radioman too. 
   Stepping out of the car, I lean in and grab my hat. While still a class C uniform, the ERT uniform still looks significantly more formal than most others with our white shirts, and the five gold rows of braid on my shoulders doesn't help. I pull on my hat and look around at the scene. It's still early, so there's mostly just the overnight staff holding down operations. There's very few missing people, and realistically, they probably aren't rescues at this point. 
   The flooding of the river into Acadia Bay took out most of the main road through town, damaged most buildings, and ruined most farms. Not to mention the damage to the route 40 heading out of county. The underdevelopment of the area contributed to the majority of the damage. The rest of the county, the damage was mostly minor. Not here. Most the trucks in the base area are ERT, with 1201 as main command, 1203 working as the personnel manager, coordinating check ins and quartermastery. That's about all that the old van is big enough for. Its diminutive size is only made more apparent with the large transport truck parked next to it. Behind 1201, hooked directly into it is our satcomm vehicle, 1206, ensuring that we still have connections to all data streams while the providers try to fix the mess the floods made. The only other vehicles in the command staging area, aside from mine, are the ones driven by the senior agency representatives from Sheriff, Fire and of course ERT. Oh and the most important vehicle, 50-01, the ERT's coffee and food truck, or officially, its "rehab unit." Everyone else has to park over in staging area in the next lot over. That lot is a more diverse grouping of vehicles, including the SCFD's marine truck, the ERT's various support vehicles,  SCSD, local police and other fire apparatus, most of which look to be "reserve" trucks staffed by firefighters, sheriffs, medics and EMTs, and police officers all on overtime. 
   I poke my head into 1203, check in and make my way over to command to get the briefing from last night.

   Fire Department Involved MVA

   Started by A. Tai · September 5, 2022

   MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET, FORT SHANNON. ENGINE 1, LADDER 1, RESCUE 1, UNIT 22, DEPUTY 1, MEDIC 1, MEDIC 2, MEDIC 43, MEDIC 42, OFFICER 1, EDO-1. MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET, FORT SHANNON. ENGINE 1, LADDER 1, RESCUE 1, UNIT 22, DEPUTY 1, MEDIC 1, MEDIC 2, MEDIC 43, MEDIC 42, OFFICER 1, EDO-1. BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET FOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. 
   SCSD TRAFFIC UNITS IN AREA OF FORT SHANNON SOUTH RIVER, RESPOND TO FIRE DEPARTMENT INVOLVED MVA, POSSIBLE FATALITIES, BAY STREET AND SOUTH NINTH STREET. 
   Listening to the radio traffic, I hear that the fire in South River is starting to clear up, some of the extra apparatus are leaving the scene, RIT, Logistics, and ladder 14. I mark the units as returned to service and adjust the timers for RIT and Logistics as they're well outside of their regular run. A few minutes pass and the phone rings.
   "911 Where is your emergency."
   "One of your trucks just like did a flip."
   "Okay sir, I need you to confirm your location."
   "I'm on Bay Street, right by the end of the park. I don't know, I think ninth?"
   I confirm on the ALI that this looks like the right location. "Sir, what do you mean one of our trucks did a flip?"
   "A Fire Truck, like with a ladder"
   "Okay, sir, I'm sending emergency services, is the truck upright?"
   "No, it's like, not totally upside down, but you know, it's really bad. There's a guy just hanging out of the door. I think he's dead."
   My heart drops. I start to give instructions for him to check on the scene, and while I wait for him to get there, I key the mic for the radio. "Ladder 14, ERT." Nothing. "Ladder 14." Still no answer. That's our involved truck.
   I tone out the incident, and assign an upgraded alarm, sending extra resources to the scene, as well as notifying Aylward.

    Person Stuck in Swing

    Started by A. Tai · August 13, 2022

    ENGINE 1, SHILOH CIRCLE PARK, EXTRA SERVICE, PERSON STUCK IN SWING, ENGINE 1, SHIHLOH CIRLCE PARK, PERSON STUCK IN SWING, ENGINE 1, EXTRA SERVICE
    Taking myself off of the Not Ready feature, I see the 911 line come to life almost instantly. Of course. 
    "911, where is your emergency?"
    "Shiloh Circle. Like the playground."
    Typing the address, I select playground.
    "Tell me exactly what is happening"
    "Um, it's not really an emergency, but like we don't know who else to call."
    "Okay, tell me what's happening and I can help you." It's not really an emergency like oh he's dead and you don't want to bother anyone, or oh you've got a splinter. 
    "Well, my friend was fooling around and now she's stuck in the swing, like the baby one. We've been trying for like ten minutes and just can't get her out!"
    "Okay, if she hurt?"
    "I don't think so, she's like. Her legs are kinda red. Like they're being squeezed really tight up in the leg holes?"
    I gather some more patient information, entering it all in while the toner alerts Engine 1 to respond. Based off the questions, it's not a medical run yet, though if we don't respond, it'll definitely turn into one.
    Patient: 16 Year old Female, conscious and alert, normal vitals, stuck in swing, reporting no injuries, possible circulation restriction in lower extremities by swing.
