That word....

You know I told you last post that I said the word, one of many which is frowned upon, and almost a ritual to avoid, and well it happened.  Within a matter of about 20 minutes I ended up with 3 calls for service.

1st - caller is reporting that she heard someone messing around and beating on something.  She was inside a fenced in area smoking and heard it, so she yelled out and asked them what they were doing as she was attempting to see what they were doing and she saw someone run to a vehicle.  They jumped into a vehicle and left.  The caller did not know what they were messing with or if they had tampered with anything.  My officer responds and is unable to locate any vehicle matching the description given.

2nd - Caller is reporting that he got a call from a renter that about 2 hours prior someone he had told he would take some wood from, hauled the base of a tree over and dumped it in the ditch and then attempted to push it off the road with a van.  He is upset because they rutted up the yard, and the tree might still partially be in the roadway.  He had told them he would take the wood but had no way to cut it up, and the guy who was giving it to him had told him they were not in any hurry, just a few days ago.  Well I guess he was in a hurry to get rid of it.   Advised an officer so they could respond to see if they could assist in anyway.

3rd call is a female who had already alerted us hours ago that her husband was at a family members house around the corner and drunk on whiskey.  She wanted us to be aware that she is concerned he will be a problem later but when she called there was not an issue.  Well now there is an issue, he has returned home and is drunk and screaming.  She cannot have this sort of situation because she has neighbors.  The officer arrives and he leaves on foot refusing a ride.  He goes back and talks to the caller who advises that she is concerned about her safety with him in the condition he is.  Then oddly enough she tells the officer, if he comes back and is causing a disturbance she is willing to file charges against him for the issues he causes.

And now not our call but another agency locally has a report of a missing juvenile. Apparently the 16 year old daughter came home late, and when mother went to check on her an hour later, she is not in her room and her window is pushed out.    We shall see how that pans out.

Days back

I wrote this several days ago, maybe weeks, I am behind putting them up so there might be several days blasted with updates and blogs which are longer. When did I book the trip on this insane train? I was enjoying some computer games when I heard some thunder . Shortly after that it began to rain, I mean POUR! I am hearing radio traffic like crazy, police, city crews, sheriff's department, Department of Transportation, WATER IS EVERYWHERE, and the highways are even impassable and are close to traffic. 1 hour later, I get a call from work, They need me in for a transfer of a critical patient, and we are taking a nurse. I tell them I will do my best to get there. My street has a few places where water is running over the road, I go a few blocks and then find more water. I have never seen this much water standing and moving, at least not here! There is a stress you have to deal with in this situation, you have to worry your vehicle will be carried by the water as you go through the wa...

The LZ

ATV's can be dangerous, as I have found out through a few calls. We are dispatched for an ATV accident, we go to the location, which is a few miles from the road. My partner takes off and goes down, while I get the truck turned around and try to get things setup for her. She calls back for me to radio for a helicopter. In just a few minutes she knew we needed a chopper. I called for a chopper telling dispatch to go ahead and dispatch a rescue crew to setup an LZ for us, since the fire department was already on scene with us assisting. The male was riding with a young girl on the back, they had went down into a creek, and then on the way out, the four wheeler front end lifted up, he was able to throw the younger girl off, but he wasn't able to clear himself from the path, as it fell backwards onto him. He was partially in the creek and underneath the large ATV. He was cold, and pale, he looked like he was dead, and his respirations were shallow, all the primary signs of...

Downward Spiral

The past month has started a rapid downward spiral, not totally on me.  I thought things were going good, we were almost to the point of being fully staffed, it was kind of exciting.  And then IT happened.  One of the rather new rookies had a bad day, I mean it was bad, but not terrible.  They fumbled, they struggled, but they made it out at the end of the day, as well as everyone they sent.  But they complained that it was a terrible day and they were not coming back.  The next day was a new day, they showed up.  They did the job they were paid to, the one they were hired for, and went on with the day like the day before had not been any issue.  Then it happened I was off and got a message to call in when I had a chance.  I called in and the supervisor informed me that the employee had quit and was no longer on the schedule so it would affect the entire schedule.  I was asked if I could take any other shifts, I reluctantly drudged thr...
