End of week 2

I didn't get many pictures the last half of this week because we were a bit pushed for time.

Yesterday was real busy but real good, it was our first day over at the smoke hut. We did a bit of branch work (hoses), practiced all our knots and went into the smoke hut with the BA's on.

In the smoke hut they don't use real smoke (I think that's too advanced for us) we use what is called 'disco' smoke. It's like the smoke at a disco I guess, it makes you look all sexy when you are not. I am immune to the effects.

We did a bit of search and rescue technique which is basically hanging on to the guy in front and falling over chairs in the dark. I am assuming the assessment will be easy to pass because the instructors won't be able to see us do it wrong.

Today we spent the whole day doing advanced resuscitation, we used the oxygen bottles and defibrillators.

We will be back to the smoke hut for most of next week so I will make sure I get some pictures then.
