ATV and the Tree

I ran a fair number of calls today. I was up pretty late as it was with calls last night. I went down to one call and Wakeman was still asleep. I let him keep sleeping. A while later we got a call for an accident in Albion. Normally Rescue does not go to Albion calls, but because they said accident I went to the station.

Wakeman had my stuff ready to roll. We were first on scene. An ATV had gone down a hill hitting a tree branch pretty good trapping the person. I helped to cut away tree branches and then I rode in the back of the ambulance on that call.

Following that call I had to get back to the office to take care of some burning issues. I got two bugs solved and checked in during the hour and a half that I was there. We were doing extrication training today. We are using some new tools to see what ones we like the best. We were using Holmatro and Amkus tools. There were pros and cons for each one. We were there for almost four hours using the tools and cutting apart cars.

After the training was over it was getting late. I needed to take my pants back to Moscow to get them fixed, so I decided to stay in Pullman tonight rather than driving to Colfax to sleep. But it has been more than a week since I was last home so I need to get there and get the mail.
