Boy I tell you....there never seems to be a dull moment at the fire hall! Nothing like going from an extreme high to an extreme low...all in 24 hours!! Like I mentioned in my previous post, we had the opportunity to deliver a baby on Monday night....again...it was a wonderful experience and I will never forget it....however, last night we got called to a house here in the village of a kid who had used cocaine. Standing there I felt like I was on an episode of "Cops"! If it wasn't such a sad situation it would have been humerous. The kid could have only been like 16 or so. When we got on location there were already at least 6 state troopers there. They already had him in cuffs and he was sitting on the porch mouthing off to everyone who came to help him. From what I hear he had been very abusive to his family and tried being abusive to the cops which....obviously is not gonna fly. So they had to take him down. Scary! I've never seen anyone talk to cops like that before. At one point when they were carrying him to the ambulance (since he refused to walk) there were at least 6 police and firemen carrying him out and let me tell you...they were struggling cause he was putting up such a fight! It was insane! At that point I decided to step out of the way in case they pulled out a tazer or pepper spray or something...I did NOT want to be in the line of fire for that!! haha! So that was quite an exciting call. A first for me!!
