On Friday, my crew responded to a attempt suicide where a female decided it was a good idea to dive head first out her second story window. We got the call approx. 11am, which was 1hr after she did it. She was found by a maint. worker lying in the grass. It was a miracle she did survive because the temp was only 20 deg. outside.

Tis the season - for this kind of stuff. I would rather blog on stuff like my last two - fires and stuff, but this stuff is my job day in & day out.

This is a late entry, from 11/19/07, 4 days before the last post I had (Thanksgiving Day Fire), but we just got the pictures back and it was very cool.

On Monday 11/19/07, I had one of the most interisting fires EVER. I've been a fireman for apporx. 14 yrs and have only read about 1-2 other fires like this one.

We had a fire inside a 125+ ft  -  Water Tower.

Yes......some of us firefighters & police do have to "Work" on Thanksgiving Day. The following pictures were taken from a fire, me and my crew had at approx. 3pm Thanksgiving Day.

Oh did I mention that it was right after we ate a huge meal then had to fight a fire - Holy PUKE.....ha ha ha
