"Runnin' Like Crazy"

Batt 3 had a pretty busy day yesterday, but more specifically, the Broadway boys did most of the work. They ran three MVC's, 3 medicals, a couple of Box alarms, rescued a kitten from the inside the wall of a home, (Engine 4 even transported the little fellar to the Vet hospital), and to finish the day off, responded to and transported a newborn who was born just prior to their arrival. Way to go guys, and just keep on "Runnin' Like Crazy".

CFD 2007 Awards Night

Last night was the Concord Fire Dept's awards night. Awards are handed out to membeers in the dept for categories in "helping hands", "Incident related", "Service related", "and Fire Officer/Firefighter of the Year". The night began with a refreshment session outside followed by the ceremonies inside the Audi. The CFD's Honor Guard posted the colors with Batt 2's Lt. Andrews playing the pipes. (I love the sound of the pipes). The dept's Rev Johnson gave the invocation followed by opening remarks from Mayor Donovan and Chief Vezina. The awards were than presented and the night ended with an awesome multimedia presentation.
A big thanks to the CFD Relief Assoc., Friends of the Audi, and the family and friends who put so much into making the evening run smoothly.
I hope to have a complete list of the recipients of the awards within a day or so.

Chichester forest fire

Engine and Forestry 7 were dispatched to a forest fire in the town of Chichester on May 9th. Once we arrived on scene Capt Whitney made the decision to do a "garden stretch" up and over the embankment and into the woods. A 1 3/4" preconnect was carried into the woods while a 2 1/2' was stretcthed to the top of the embankment (which was no easy task). The old addage is "Little fire little water, big fire big water". Guys were having to do a double take at the site of a 2 1/2" going up that hill. Our quadrant of the fire had about a 1" layer of foam over it and there was no chance of a rekindle.
