the 100% directionless thread

Saw a TC roll over today on my way home from work. I ended up deciding to stop because I was still in uniform and witnessed it. Luckily the car was in the huge dirt center divider so it was safe to do so.

Gotta love my dispatch "why didn't you call 911? They are going to want a lot of info?" I didn't feel like playing 20 questions with 911. They can find out what make/model/color the car is when they get on scene, its not relevant at the current time.
 
Funny. I saw a Pick Up get waffled on the highway yesterday. Stopped to see if the driver was dead. (It sure looked that way.) Nope. Some entrapment, but no injuries. The truck was destroyed though.

This lady only had knee pain after rolling several times. The fire medic wanted to backboard because and I quote "that's a lot of mechanism". The medic on the ambulance asked the fire medic about 8 times why they were backboarding her. The medic ended up saying "since you want to backboard the patient based only on mechanism then you are riding along and telling the Doc why".
 
Nothing to exciting this way. Gloomy with a ton of rain, turning to ice tomorrow morning and an expected 8-10" of snow along with a 1/10 of ice. Looks like an interesting day. Meanwhile, off work and heading to fire class.

Stay safe

Did you pull up youtube on your phone to show him the freeway patrol mechanism video?
 
Chilly and rainy here and a day off. Perfect conditions for a fire. [emoji16]

A while back, I was driving down a country road when I saw smoke coming from a valley about 100ft away from the road. Saw some tire tracks in the grass going down the hill, and what looked like a crashed truck partially concealed by the trees. I got out to see if anyone needed any help, and found 2 hicks illegally burning brush behind their truck. I never get any off duty "fun".

Which show?
 
What's the show about?
 
a girl basically raising her younger siblings because the mom abandoned them and the dad is a narcissistic drunk. Shows how they scrape by while getting into trouble. its on showtime so theres a fair bit of sex.
