Well I have been back in drills and this will be my second week. The Chief knows about my situation and he is cool with me being back.. He actually said " Just to be carefull and thanks for being dedicated to the company"..

WOW,,,, that was so cool coming from him.. Truth be told he has not said a word to me since I was tapped in.. Believe it.

Watch my luck, we well get a fire call.. I swear to god if we do I'm on the truck..

From the basics to interior / exterior firefighter training, along with ladder positioning and knot tying.

Starts in January..

Thanks man, I never really stop to think about it, to be truthfull.

It's such a rush to hear my minator go off and say to myself, " I need to make that truck." Game on baby,, let's go,,,let's go.. get moving.."

Honestly I talk to myself and plan the next step.

Got tested last night on getting into my gear in a minute or less..and exiting the Engine and Rescue vehicles

Happy to say that I got into mine,, ( mind you this was outside in the bitter cold ) in 40 seconds..

I'm now certified in gear apparatus installation( if you will).. I guess of a lack of a better term, that's why that call it that.. who knows,, it was cold as a bitch..

Getting out of the vehicles is pretty easy, just making sure you check your surroundings before you exit the truck, and use a 3 point hand position grip while exiting.. Simple but over looked a lot.

The class is kinda fun and at the same time boring.. The terminology is not used in everyone's station. So you need to tweek it a bit to fit your station.
