Hi 3K,
I took this video during the walk through of the burn building. They showed us how the building was set up and you can see that they only burn stuff that looks like hay. It is a lot like hay that you have on a farm but this is special, it is made just to burn. The teachers have racks that they pile the hay on and then set it on fire. They aren't allowed to burn anything besides this hay and pallets. The fires are going to get a little bigger this week because I am now in Fire Fighter II. I finished Fire Fighter I last week. They could only burn this hay during FFI so we could learn on small fires that go out easy. Now we get to put out pallets which are made up of wood so it will be a little harder to put them out. We won't get to do all of that until almost this weekend and most of next week.
I forgot to tell you about what I get to look forward to this week. We have a class on how to get into cars. They have some junkers here and we will learn how to cut into them, break the glass and all that sort of thing to learn how to get people out of them if they are in an accident.
Have fun, and enjoy this nice weather, get outside and play after you finish your homework of course. :)

I want to see a picture of a firetruck and I saw a truck come out of the fire department in Mildred.-Aimee
ReplyDeleteI want to see you putting out the fire. Barb
How many days until you come back? We miss you! I want to see you do something harder-Joey
Hi Ms. Pardoe-Mercides
What did you learn in the video?-William
Hi Kids,
ReplyDeleteI do have a picture of me infront of the fire truck I will have to post that for you Miss Aimee.
I can't take my camera into the burning building because it might melt and I don't want to drop it either so I probably won't have any pictures of that Barb.
Joey, You have the calender. Look at it and the number on that day is how many I have left until I come back. I am working hard, some of the stuff might look easy but the gear and the air pack on my back weighs about 20 pounds itself. I want to see you carry that around and then do hard work on top of that. :)
Hi Sadie
William, the video shows us how the building is set up because it is a training environment they don't want us to get hurt when there is a fire there. They want us to know where the windows and exits are incase of an emergency. Plus it shows what they use to build the fires and I thought you guys might like to see that.
Miss you all,
Ms. Pardoe
