fire

I was on call this weekend for the first time in months. Thanks to the massive amount of wedding planning that has concluded, I now had some free time to resume normal life. Well, as luck would have it I got called my first weekend night back on the job. 5am I got woken up out a dead slumber to a fire in Saint Paul. 4 DAT's plus a lead were called up for this one, so I figured it was pretty serious. Well, as it turns out the clients consisted of two parents and one juvenile (17). 5 people to aid a family of 3, a little OVERKILL - thanks Red Cross. Anyways, so I get on scene about 5:30 and there are 5 fire trucks packing gear up. The house - a total loss. From the outside it doesn't look too bad, but inside it's all gone. I'm always amazed at the power of a fire.
