shocking

yeah so apparently i was extremely lucky thursday night at the fire in mill creeks local. M.Fizzil and i were pulling the ceiling in the fire room with another crew when one of the 220 lines split sending sparks every where and a live wire down towards us. i thought we got out of the way, turns out i was wrong. when we went outside to refill our air packs and get ready to go back in, our driver asked me what the hell i did to my gear. apparently that wire came down, dripped on the front of my helmet as it melted and the actual line hit my coat on the back of my left arm. needless to say, there is a nice large burn mark on the sleeve that went through 3 of the 4 layers of my turnout coat. now the coat has to get sent out, checked to see if its a loss, and i need another new coat. what freaks me out though is the fact that i didnt feel it. even as it burned through, i felt nothing. dont get me wrong, im fuckin thankfull i didnt get zapped, but maybe feeling something to tell me i was on fire might have been good. sometimes i think this gear is as much of a threat as it is a safety item. i hope i at least get to keep it if it is condemned..........looks sick
