not realy.  Pretty run of the mill calls so far.  I've head one fire, a vehicle fire in a junkyard.  Got to put that out all by myself, which was really cool.  It was cooking pretty good too.  Other than that, nothing real major. Sick people, car accidents, etc. We had two accidents that were crazy in their results though.

1) The roads were real slick, and this guy was coming up an onramp, and slid on black ice, and flipped.  The vehicle (s10 blazer) wound up on its lid off the side of the road.  It landed in about two feet of snow, driver crawled out the pass. side window, and the rig was fine!  No broken glass, no body damage, hell, the roll didn't even rip the mirrors off. 

2)  During our last big snow storm, 2 women in a ranger got hit by another truck on the freeway.  At the point where she was hit, the free way was raised on an embankment about 25 feet above the surrounding area.  She wound up going under the barrier fence, and rolling off the embankment.  She landed on her wheels, in a parking lot.  they took her to the hospital with her complaining of a headache  :o  If she had landed on her lid, or even on her side, we would have had a body recovery.   :conf:

Those sound good to me so far.   Making a good difference in the world.  :thumbs:

Your stomach must have been in knots the first time you approched that car fire.  :yesnod:
