As a resident of Sarasota County, I am protected by the Sarasota County Fire Department, Station 4, which is on Old Bradenton Road, about a mile or so south of New College and my house. Engine 4 is a 2006 E-One Typhoon, one of 3 delivered the the department that year (others at E1 and E3)...and Rescue 4 is a 2006 Sterling Acterra/MedicMaster ambulance. Both are pretty impressive. I am from Tampa, and Tampa is exclusively Pierce vehicles...it's nice to see a change of makes and models here and there ;)
Anyway, I just think its interesting to think about the number of times (and the variety of incidents) I see E4 or R4 screaming their way towards. For example,
a couple of weeks ago - car vs. moped, woman severely injured, possible fatality, but i think she was ok, US41 & 47th street
last tuesday - car wreck, very minor, University Pkwy & US41, just south of school
last thursday - automatic fire alarm in 'Z' dorm at school
tonight - 'structure fire' that turned out to be men working on the roof of the dining hall at school
anyway, I just wait for the day that something happens on my street...once in a while I can hear them going up or down US41, but mainly i just happen upon them by luck ;)
that is all
