Today was the best day so far.
We started with a quiz, and quickly jumped in to classroom work. After a few hours of PPE classroom work, we headed out to get our Turnout gear and returned to the gym. Our instructor explained every piece inside and out. After lunch, we headed back in the gym. We put all our gear on and headed out side to the fire grounds.
Half of us went to a trailer and crawled our way through an obstacle course. It consisted of window openings, ramps, rafter crawls, and going over and under walls.
After the exercise was complete. we headed over to the drill tower. At the drill tower, we were instructed to go through a window, a climb the tower using the indoor staircase. On the level below the top floor, we climbed a ladder up and out onto the roof the tower. From there we climbed back down using the outside staircase. Once all of us came down, we did the same exercise in reverse.
I had a great time. I felt like a little kid at Christmas. It was good to get back into the gear.
On Monday we start with our SCBAs. From here on out, all the exercised we do, will be with turnouts and air. Now, the real weight loss begins.
