So were you tender support or the pumper?  Also, its extrication season out there.  Keep your head on a swivel.

Unfortunately I was part of the command group on this one not operations. Sheridan crew was doing attacks on alpha side and my crew was doing work on the delta so I was in command of delta. Aka I didn't get to play, I had to be a glorified gopher. I guess someone has to do it heh.

I know the feeling...  :-P  That is quite often how assists work.  It's like being on hazmat or RIT duties, but very important none the less.  I'm sure you had to help with tear-down and cleanup as well...  All part of the job.  Keep vigilant.

Of course we did. In fact we ended up getting stuck holding the scene until the arson investigator got there lol.

The town I live in is only 4500 people. There are three small towns in my coverage area of Johnson County at 4,175 square miles. The lower population fortunately means fewer structure fires but a lot more wild land fires and car wrecks.
