Duty Room

Recommended Posts

Parking my POV in the front of the station I grab my go-bag and make my way into the duty room, dropping my bag at the back of the ambulance area, in case we get a quick call. I check my uniform one last time in the reflection off the door to make sure my uniform, including badge, is immaculate.

Holding back a slight yawn I enter the duty room for the first time in awhile having taken some time off to help my family back at home due to the flooding that hit Ludlow, Vermont last month.  With a nod to the others in the room I take a sip of my Monster and head to the back to hear assignments.

Even after I ordered something to go from Denny's it seems I'm the first to arrive for the shift.  Well I guess that's fine as I take a seat in the Duty Room and get to work on the Grand Slam breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage.

As the captain starts to speak, or lieutenant, or whatever the hell she is. I'm confused at the firefighters. They've got people with one stripe and bugle and calling them captain. This department is weird as all hell.

"I'm here, sorry, I was speaking with admin!"

"Alright, no other missing firemen? Okay. So we've got a new truck on the run today, the new tiller is in service for ladder 1. I know a few of you are trained tillermen, so sort that amongst yourself. I'll be acting Captain on Engine on, and Cook is stepping up as acting LT on the tiller. Boorne, on back, Valentine on front. Or switch it out, just for the love of god, don't crash it.

I come into the duty room and check the roster for the day. With the platoon chief being out sick, it bumps us all up a notch. I'm riding as the acting platoon chief, Noel as the acting captain, and Cook as an acting lieutenant. Good experience for all of us, really. I poke around for a few minutes and then step into the office.
