Nights, v2

Another night. This time the first nighttime call came early; 23:15 sort of early. I managed to squeeze a workout in this evening after dinner, which may have been poorly timed... We were called to a building alarm, for which I need to carry the high-rise hose pack (2 lengths of 44mm hose + nozzle) and equipment bag (20 lbs of standpipe connection tools). Adding to that turnouts and the SCBA, and a 30 minute search through the building for the offending fire alarm pull station, my workout became a double workout. Je suis fatigue, but pleased nonetheless.

This is one of our three poles. It's definitely the fastest way to get to the apparatus floor.
