As 2009 wraps up, I look back at some of the events of the year.
We had some doozies in the MVA department. Semi vs van, t-bone, rollover, rear-end. I'd have to look back to be certain, but I think we ended up having to move actually metal 10 times or more.
We made entry into 3 structure fires. Something I'm finally feeling comfortable to do with our team of firefighters.
Water rescues, hazardous materials, CO alarms, medical assists, and then... grass fires.
All in all it was another busy year. Call volumes are up again this year over last, and we may hit the magic 200 number for call volume.
And we learned some lessons the hard way this year. Luckily, no one was seriously hurt. Proper PPE use, Hazard awareness at size up time, and a few lapses of concentration all could have proved costly.
