I remember this one. It was just across the metal bridge. I was on the ambulance and took the two to the hosptal.
I LOVE BINGO
You are right Sparky that is the location of the call, I was on it also.
Brad, did you make it to Bingo then?

Yes I used to work Bingo beck then and hated every minute of it. But it did pay the bills. No one should have to work bingo now, there should be a fire tax to take care of that. The citizens have been getting a free ride for to long, it is time they start paying for the service.
Bingo sure has come a long ways since then. Wouldn't have the equipment we have now without it.
