"that's girl power right there" (funny towing story)

[BadInfluence]

So I'm leaving my boyfriends house last night and making my way down the back roads to go home. All is well, I'm rocking out to 105.7 the X on my radio, and hitting any snow I possibly can, playing.

Well I stop at a stop sign and while looking for oncoming cars I notice a little car sideways in the road blocking traffic. With being a ex fire squirrel (EMS), my tail fluffs and naturally I have to make sure every things ok. So I drive up, stop behind traffic and jog on up to make sure all is well.

Come to find out a group of kids and their mom in Neon were coming down the road hit some ice and ran into a snow bank, blocking both lanes of traffic. Some lady in a minivan had stopped to make sure all was well and was telling me what had happened.

So knowing how everyone is scared to help people now days I offer to help them, and pull out their car. The mom and kids kinda give me an odd look, I tell them I have a truck and can pull them out. They agree.

Jogging back up to the truck, I hop in and pull behind the Neon. Grabbing my tow hooks I crawl under the Neon hook to the tow hook and hook up to the truck. All the while I can hear one of the kids going "oh my god, this is bad ass, a chicks pulling us out of the snow." Then the mom pipes in with "that's girl power right there".

I pull the truck forward and wa-la the Neon is out of the snow. Hopping back out I unhook the Neon and my truck all while being questioned on how I knew how to do that. I explain I work on auto's, then take my leave.

Was a great ending to a day. I love helping people out. Plus hearing the funny comments as a chick does this stuff it's quite funny :D

That's a beautiful thing Wrenchbunny. I came upon a head-on accident a few years ago while 3 college age kids arrived at the same time and told me they were "First Responders" (???) then they stood there like they didn't know what to do!
My trainee and I got it handled.
Glad you got it goin on!

thanks, and yeah. Most first responders are like that. Most know what they need to handle situations but when they are put into the situation where they need to do something they draw blanks.

I was in EMS for 6 years. I learned alot and was thrown into alot of bad situations I had to learn to cope with and how to handle. But in the long run I learned how to help people when needed but it def was too much stress for me in the long run.
