Day 14!!

We are all hurrying to go to bed early tonight.  Today was the beginning of the Basic Safety Training week, and we began with the fire fighting classroom lecture.  We also learned how to "gear up" with our oxygen tank and mask, and everyone was able to put that on in less than one minute.  Then we all were given our bunker gear which we will have to put on in less than one minute as well.  In the morning we will be timed, and should be completely ready, with our oxygen on and running in two minutes.  : )

6:00 AM is the start time for class.  It has been so hot here, but thankfully, tomorrow it is only to be a high of 90, with a chance of rain in the afternoon.  So by getting up at the crack of dawn, we will have some time to put out fires before we get scorched by the sun. 

I am trying to upload a picture from my phone...so far it is not working.  I should have pictures tomorrow tho! : )
