'Hey Daniels, can you uhh help the squad and pumper guys pack up? They look like they're having a little trouble haha.'
*I turn back to my truck and start to check off my keyboard.*
'Where's my PPV fans?'
*I look around trying to find it and I go into the lobby area finding it there still on pushing out no smoke.*
'Wasting the energy hehe.'
*I turn it off, pick it up, and carefully lug it to the back of the truck so it won't get too marked up. I keep chekcing everything off and everything is checked off so I unhook the supply line and close the hydrant, screwing the cap back on with the hydrant wrench. I place the hydrant wrench in its place next to the pump controls then go back over to the supply line to drain it. I then remember we still have our high rise packs upstairs still connected.*
'Oh crap....Chris, come with me to get the high rise packs upstairs.'
*I put my jacket and SCBA on put down activate the air. We go upstairs using the ladder that is still there and I unscrew the ones on the third floor and Chris helps me fold it up. I take the nozzles off of each and insert them into my pocket. I pick up the high rise packs and lift it onto my shoulder.*
'Thank you FDNY training. I hate high rise packs.'
*We move back downstairs and succesfully descend down the ladder. I get to the truck and place my pack in there and go over to the Squad to but Raven's pack away. I then check my pack off of my list.*
'Help me get these ladders down.'
*Chris and I take down the single ladder and extended one too. We place it in the back compartment where all of the ladders are kept. I then close that compartment and go over to the front of the building.*
"Ladder 1 command to interior....."
'Ok good there is no interior haha.'
*I go over to Floan.*
'Do a head count aaannnnddd don't leave your ladder in there. Someone could take it haha.'
*I go back to the bumper of the ladder and start drinking the rest of my water. I take my SCBA and jacket back off leaving my gloves, turnout pants, helmet and hood on.*
