I stood in the dark observing the view of the park. Way off in the distance I seen movement. My eyes began to focus. Someone was in the center of the park in the dark pacing back and forth.
My final assignment was Providence St. Eventually the assignment moved to a couple of buildings next to the ER. The Generator facility and a small building next to it which was an old patient ward I believe.
This spacious storage area closely resembles the huge mental facility wards at Camarillo Mental Hospital in Camarillo, CA. The stairs lead down to the linen department and basement tunnels. The tunnels lead to every tower, building, and into the parking structures. I once decided to take the tunnels to the cafeteria and made a wrong turn.
I ended up in the East Tower on an office floor. The first three months doing fire watch patrol, I was in the South Tower patrolling each floor from the roof to the first floor.
Often while on break I would go up to the roof and take in the scenery that overlooked Burbank. Sinai at first. At first glance I thought it was Forest Lawn Cemetery. I would pick up the deceased and take them to various Mortuaries all over Southern California and Santa Barbara. I was always busy driving day and night. It paid the bills and it was an experience that I will always remember. At Providence St. I would stand out there alone enjoying the cold air and breeze. The view from the top of the South Tower was something that I would end up looking forward to.
