Lead Exercise 2
1. Local Firefighter Bob Harwood broke his leg while rescuing a cat from a tree on 11th Avenue. On the descent down from the 50 foot tree, a dead limb broke from beneath him, sending Harwood and the calico (belonging twins Suzane and Samantha Decker), crashing to the ground. The firefighter broke his left leg but is doing “just fine” at St. Luke’s Hospital. As for the cat, it is also doing fine thanks to its safe landing atop the wounded firefighter.
2. A string of unrest from students has plagued East High School for the last week as several incidents have occurred resulting in school suspensions for 15 student, 10 of which are upperclassmen. Principal Laura Hibelius commented there was general unrest, “not so much because of suspensions, but because of the summer vacation being so near.” A food fight, 3 false fire alarm triggers, and an instance of 5 students getting caught smoking marijuana were all dealt with last week alone. Hibelius says she sees no continuation of these “incidents” in the near future.
3. Gasoline flooded sewer lines for two blocks around 48th Street and Correctionville Road. “The Firemen followed catastrophe and hazmat procedures set up before hand, just for such an occurrence,” Fire Chief Charles Hochandel explained. A Texaco gasoline truck overturned on the outskirts of town flooding streets and ditches for two hours until the gas was flushed away. Cars were re routed through the streets during the occurrence and four families were evacuated because of the sewer lines.
