Fire Fire Fire

Well, on Sept 25, we had quite the little adventure!

Allison went to a scrapbooking party and I was at home with Olivia. I had just sat down from putting Olivia down & was on my computer - actually thinking of something to blog about, when the phone rang.

It was my accountant telling me that he had some questions in regards to my taxes (2006 - yes I know that it's a little late! LOL). As we where going through that, my pager went off at 2056. My heart starts to race as I listen to the dispatch.

The call came in that the building was already half involved in flames. I couldn't believe it! I was at home stuck on the phone. I never wanted to hang up so quickly in my life to call Allison & see where she was at.

Once I was finally done with the accountant, I called Allison really quickly. As she answers, I ask "where are you?" She simply replied that she was getting ready to leave. I was happy about that. Cause I knew that we where going to be spending some time on scene.

Once Allison arrived, I headed to the Fire Hall and discovered that there was 3 other people there too.... looking for the Deputy Chief's keys. He was out of town.

All in all, the fire went well. The building was not half involved as the dispatch came in. It was contained & we where able to keep the fire from spreading too much.

Other then that, I've got 2 new developments coming my way. Two local employment offers have arrived on my door step. I don't want to go into too much details just yet as I don't want to jinx anything.

Olivia is growing up very quickly. She can now easily stand and also crawl up the stairs. She is also recovering from Tonsillitis.... She had a very high fever last week - as high as 102. All in all, it was scary, but under control. The only thing that really bothers me about my work is situations like that. I was in Richibucto and Allison wasn't sure what else to do. I rushed home & spent time with them while we waited for our Dr's appt.

So, Olivia is going to stay on meds (penicillin) for 10 days, just to make sure that eveything is completely gone.

Well, that's all I've got for now!

'til next time!
