Fire Fighting training
Cant get pics to upload.
Went to my first firefighting extraction training class last night. All I can say is... WOW. These guys are awesome. They performed 4 different scenerios and all were very informative. They performed a vertical roof extraction, proper usage of different saws to cut roof's, proper way to drag victim out of burning house and hose ventilation (where you shoot water out of door to draw smoke out of building). This was performed at Planer Mill FD training station in DeRidder. Was there for 6:30pm til 10:00pm to help clean up. Got to use the hose on the side. Helped set-up hoses, disassemble them. Work fire hydrants. Work the fire truck PSI and lights. Refill O2 tanks. Pretty much everything except going in the house to put out the fire. It was a blast. As soon as I can get the pictures emailed to myself, I'll post them up.
Just wanted to share the awesome experience.
This is looking like something I can see myself doing in the near future.
