Two Calls At Once, and a Fire

So after a couple of sparse weeks, Saturday we get not just one but two vehicle accidents at once. Page comes in, I get to station, get suited up, E2 is full so I'm first on Squad. As soon as I get on, call comes over the radio for an ambulance, our E1 and another company's engine to a 2nd accident.

At this point, we're short a driver, so I and Squad's driver head over to E1, while another driver arrives for Squad, and the rest of the FF's in station split up for the two calls. Everything got staffed, and both accidents turned out to be easily handled and fairly minor.

Then Saturday evening, we get called for a trash fire. Apparently, folks at a local church had a cookout, and the coals weren't cold enough when they emptied them into the dumpster. The trash line took care of it easily, and I got to pack the hose away when it was over. (So far, for the record, that was the closest I've come to actually seeing flame in my illustrious, 4-month firefighting career...)
