*I pull the truck in next to the diesel pump and open the gas tank*

'Dang glad to know that gas prices aren't high here like everywhere else'

*After topping off the tank, I head inside and get myself and Richardson something to drink*

"Basic 1 to dispatch: Be advised we are back available enroute post"

*I pull up to the gas pumps and park my truck. I hop out and start filling it up. I then go inside and buy a dozen donuts for the station.*

'That be all for you sir?'

"Let me go get a cup of coffee also?"

'Sure thing sir.'

'So how is the fire business.'

"Not too bad."

'You go out to that boat fire last week I believe.'

"Our fire department responded to it. I wasn't able to go."

'Well you guys do a great job, Keep up the work.'

"Well thank you very much."

'Okay Chief it'll be $4.95.'

"Here you go." *hands him a 10*

'Thank you sir.' *hands me change* 'Have a nice day chief.'

"I'll try, you have a nice day too."

* I walk out of the store and put the donuts in the passenger seat and my coffee in the cup holder. I then finish fulling my truck and get in and continue my way to the station.*

* i pull in and park the truck next to the pumps*
* i walk inside the store*

Me:' haha ahh no, its actually just a support vehicle, we are firefighters but we just preform different tasks'
Store clerk:' oo ok i see? * he still seems confused* ok well your all set, have a nice day'
Me: ' thanks, you too'
* I finish pumping gas and get back in the truck thinking ' that took longer than i planned'
* i drive back to the station and back up the truck into the bay and lean over and grab the mic*
" sev 2 to copa, back in quarters"
" copa copies, sev 2 back"

*On our way home I pull in next to pump one and put my card in*

*After punching the numbers to my pin I put my pin number in*

'Wow, gas is sure going up.'

*After topping the tank off I look at the price*

'Dang, I put 15 gallons in for 45 dollars'

*I then climb back in my jeep and head back to my house*

*I pull up in my durango and stop at the pump. I walk in to pre pay the guy for $30*

Clerk: 'Hey are you the chief or something? Thats a lot of lights'

'Nah thats just my personal vehicle but in case we get a call and I'm not at the station I have the lights to get to the station.'

Clerk: 'Oh i seee'

'Yeah alright see ya later'

*I walk out to the pump and pump my gas then take off towards my house*

( i swear these gas station clerks dont know anything about fire trucks, haha seems like evryone who comes here has to explain whats happening haha)

*After waking up and getting in my uniform, I pull into the gas station and up to a pump. The attendant walks over.*

'Hey, fill it with regular please.'

*I hand him my credit card, he puts the pump into my gas tank, and fills it up. It clicks, he takes it out, hand me my credit card and I receipt. I sign it and give it back to him and drive to the firehouse*
