Fire Fighting

Well it turns out, firefighters are more than a group of good looking men, that I would call to my dental office in the slightest emergency, just to look at them. We took fire prevention today and learned the chemistry behind what can cause a fire and the components to fight each different fire.

I was overwhelmed about 3 hours into the class. So much information, that ALL seemed so important. My brain shut down. My classmates, Heather, Rachel, Karin and I all went to lunch together. Now I have a full belly and an overloaded brain. Nap needed! Luckily the instructor is aware this is a ton of info to receive and retain in one day…so the 7th hour into the class he reviewed test topics so I think I did ok. Tomorrow, we take what we learned today and put fire suits on and actually put out fires. He said we can take pictures. So I’d imagine tomorrow I will look like a yellow banana rather than a red lobster! The private crew housing I rented for Rylee and I for the week, ends tomorrow. So tonight I’m packing the jeep so tomorrow after class I will learn the location of my new shared crew housing and meet new friends! What a ride!!
