Fire Hut

I promised pictures of the fire hut last week and not being one to disappoint, I have delivered. We have been at the fire hut all this week and we will be there tomorrow too. The training each day is split up in to 3 sections hoses, breathing apparatus, knots and ladders. We just rotate around each station and started adding bits from one station to another. I guess the idea is that by the time we get into the course a bit more we will just be doing everything in our drills – but enough talk here are the pictures.

Here is Luke opening a stand pipe – our favorite Canadian is photo booming in the background. He isn’t actually from Canada but while the Olympics are on he just says he is.

This is the smoke hut with a couple of guys practicing ladders and knots.

I would take a picture from inside the smoke hut but it is dark and smoky. Most disappointing of all is that there is no disco music to match the disco smoke – only on the bus.
