Jan 1 - Around 1900, Truck 7 picked up a run while returning from another medical call. It was to

           assist the police for an unknown medical problem. A man had been seen laying in a doorway

           at the rear of an apartment complex about 10 hours earlier.  He was deceased.

Jan. 2 - Just before midnight a box was transmitted for a house fire at 4622 SE 86th Ct.

            Eng. 11 was first due and reported heavy fire from the front of a one story house,

           extending to a house to the north. The bulk of the fire was knocked down quickly

           and when entry was made they found a 50-year old woman and her dog near
