June 1, 2003 - 9:00pm - Unit #220 stopped and checked on a suspicious vehicle on the shoulder of the on-ramp from I-270 southbound to I-44 westbound. 220 drove by the vehicle five minutes prior to stopping to check on it but it never left the scene even though the headlights were on and the engine was running. 220 then pulled up behind the vehicle (lights on), got out, and walked towards the driver's door to find out what the problem was. The driver stated that nothing was wrong but 220 felt something was strange in talking to the man so he walked back to his truck. 220 got back to his truck and simply waited and waited for the driver to move on. Sensing that 220 was not going to go anywhere until he left the area, the driver decided to drive off.

June 5, 2003 - 8:30pm - Unit #220 had just finished assisting the MSHP with a vehicle fire at I-44 westbound at Beaumont/Antire Rd when he spotted a vehicle on the shoulder just down the hill west of there. 220 got out of his truck and walked up to the vehicle. The female motorist met with him at the back bumper. The motorist stated that she and her ex-husband were having a domestic argument while driving in the car when she decided to pull off to the side. She explained to 220 that they were both enroute to pick up their kids at Sx Flags when the argument got heated. 220 offered to call the MSHP to clear things up and she declined. She stated that things were under control and that they would be leaving shortly. Within 15 minutes, the motorist and passenger were on their way to Six Flags.

June 5, 2003 - 9:30pm to 1:15am - Unit #220 assisted with a structure fire in Cedar Hill, Missouri. The fire was at the Cedar Hill Elks Lodge off of Highway 30 near MM Highway. When he arrived, fire departments were still arriving on the scene from around the area. 220 directed traffic around the fire scene. Vehicles and traffic that did not belong down the two way street (now 1-way) were intentionally diverted to Gazebo Lane, this included all residential traffic on the two way street itself. All non-essential fire trucks were to report to the scene, but all tanker trucks were to fill up with water at the Motomart on Highway 30 and return ASAP. This objective was repeated 4 times per hour (tanker trucks in and out about every 15 minutes for 2 hours). During the course of the fire, 220 inadvertently met the wife of a firefighter. She asked, "What is REACT? ", and "Where did you come from?" and so 220 took 30 seconds to briefly introduce himself. She mentioned that "some of the firefighters were paying attention to what you were doing for them, and they appreciate your hard work". Unit 220 thanked her for stopping by and gave her his business card. At about midnight, Captain Johnny Johnson (husband of the woman) and Firefighter John Hutson met up with 220 and personally thanked him for his help. 220 stated, "I figured you didn't want any more traffic down the street than what you already had, so I was just trying to help out". Captain Johnson said, "I received your card and I will hand it over to my fire chief when I get to the station. If you want, you can hang out here for a little while longer and once the traffic dies down you're free to come down and take a look or leave, it's up to you. But thank you for all that you've done". 220 stuck around for a little while longer, spoke with a couple of Jefferson County Sherriffs' deputies, and then returned home for the evening. The fire was ruled accidental according to some articles written in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch a few days later.

June 9, 2003 - 9:00pm - Unit #220 and #65 were traveling on southbound I-55 about to get onto westbound I-270 when 65 saw a motorist backing down the ramp to go eastbound on I-270. Cars were swerving to avoid the car at the last second. 65 couldn't get over in time so he radioed to 220 (who was several hundred yards behind him) about the motorist. 220 turned on his lights and stopped on the shoulder at the start of the ramp. The motorist saw 220 behind him and got the idea. He put the car in drive and continued down the ramp.

June 9, 2003 - 9:10pm - Unit #65, #02, and #220 stopped to assist a motorist with a bad alternator on northbound I-270 just south of I-44. 65 let the motorist use his cell phone to call AAA. Since the shoulder was narrow, 220 decided to wait behind him until the tow truck arrived. 65 and 02 left the scene after the motorist finished using 65's phone.

June 10, 2003 - 5:30pm - Unit #02, 65, and 220 were at Faust Park to help the St. Louis County Park Rangers with traffic control at a concert scheduled at the park later in the evening when the Park Rangers decided to cancel the event due to an approaching severe thunderstorm. 02, 65, and 220 left the park when the storm hit and started storm spotting. Soon reports were coming over the scanner of major wind damage, traffic accidents, and a report of a roof blown off a motel in Fenton, Missouri located in St. Louis County. 02, 65, and 220 headed to Fenton to see if they could help. When they arrived, they found many of the roads blocked by debris, power lines, and construction signs. Police were busy with the power lines and accidents so 02 and 65 started removing the debris and construction signs from the road. After they cleared all the roads, they headed over to the motel where the roof had been blown off. The fire department was already on the scene and there were a lot of passing motorists pulling into the motel parking lot to "sight see". 220 saw there were no police at the scene so he blocked the entrance and prevented people from getting in the way of the fire department. There were no injuries reported at the motel. The damage was caused by a microburst from the thunderstorm.

June 30, 2003 - 3:25pm - Unit #11 was driving in the left lane on northbound I-270 heading past the McDonnell exit when she noticed traffic slowing ahead. She slowed down to see what was going on and noticed tire chunks on the pavement. As she got past the McDonnell exit, there was a white Ford commercial van disabled halfway in the left shoulder and halfway into the #1 lane with a blown rear right tire. She pulled about 100 feet behind the vehicle and blocked the #1 lane. She then got on CB channel 19 to notifiy the truckers of the lane blockage. She then called the Hazelwood PD and notified them of the lane blockage. Unit 11 put on her vest, grabbed her orange flag, and got behind her car to direct traffic out of that lane. About five minutes later, one of the police officers from Hazelwood arrived on the scene and pulled up behind her car. The man finally got out of his commercial van and was talking on a cellphone to someone at his company. The officer told unit 11 to leave the scene before the other policemen arrived to block traffic long enough to move the van to the right shoulder near the Lindbergh Blvd. exit. So unit 11 left the scene to the officer.
