The first week was long and there was lots of classroom work, but today we got to go and play. We put on all our "tough guy clothes" (technical term) and used a whole bunch of fire extinguishers.
The guy with the the yellow helmet in the picture below is my room mate Ross. He just laid the smack down on that soggy wood fire. Note that the plane in the background has a hay bail for an engine - no shit that's going to catch fire.
While we were being hero's, showing those short pieces of wood not to mess with a handful of hardened recruits with water extinguishers, these guys showed up:
Yeah, they had a fancy truck and all the posh gear. But once they were done they let us go over and have a go on the big hose, which was really cool - it was like we were actually real firemen.
