Event 2

Last night at 12.30 the Fire siren sounded. Upon arriving at the station and getting suited up i was told to wait and not get on the first appliance as other people who hadn't gone as much needed to go. Disappointed i waited to see if the second appliance would go. When i heard over the roar of the first appliance that the call out was to a car vs pole persons trapped my spirits dropped further, these were the events that i looked forward to. Standing there waiting for the second appliance to be called upon I knew that we would be on road duty. The second appliance is almost always there to secure the scene never to get fully involved unless needed. Degraded and let down i stared out the window as we drove to the crash. As i looked out into the black veil covering the land bright red, yellow and blue lights lit up the sky. Two fire appliances were already there along with an ambulance and 3 police cars. The first thought that came into my head was how amazing all the colours lit up the scene and how beautiful it looked, then i thought "Ok, come on guys bit over kill for one car crash." Jumping out of the appliance with a jerkin on i was told to go on road duty on one side of the road, with great reluctance i did, and trudged down the road with flashlight in hand. As i stood there in the light rain i became steadily more disappointed as time progressed and light specks of rain lashed at my uncovered face. Light refracted through my visor as i stared longingly at the car wreak, lighting my face with a mixture of red and blue. It sucks so bad to be on second appliance...
