First fire as a probie



The first fire I ever went to as a probie was on South Main street. I instinctively jumped off the engine at the hydrant and wrapped a double lay around it. A guy from another company and I opened up the hydrant and tied the 2 supply lines into it and walked back to the scene. Crews were around the D side. there was a lot of smoke on the top floor. One of the older guys helped me by teaching me how to use the controls on the rear reels to pick up our hose. Ricky was all excited because they broke out a basement window and put some fire out through there.
