* I walk over to the pumper from helping the ladder guys with their truck, I climb into my seat and put my headset on, close my door and watch as the restof the crew climbs aboard. *

" Central Pump-11 responding. "

"Received Pumper 11."

((Wait, just for furture referance, isn't the squad more for medical calls? I know the pumper is ALS now, but still I thought we ran medicals if available...))

(I though the squad was more for like rescue medical calls most places would send a pumper for ALS support do you have any medics on board right now since raven is out?...P.s lets move this to the quarterly forum)

(The squad is for medical calls for future reference)

(yes but with no raven around they have no medic so she made the right call)

(Oh true, forgot he's gone)

( We are also going to be running meds now as well. )

( Boy i sure wish i had a better support staff on my engine, everybody who is staffed ( currently ) is online but not a single person is posting to the call except for me. )

((sorry had to go real quick))
I throw on my bunker pants and grab my jaket putting it over my chair as I hop into the drivers seat and take off turning on the lights and engaging the siren.
