After some training I'll be able to, right now I'll only be allowed to go on scene and help direct traffic and help the guys unload equipment. Gotta start small and I'm more than ok with it, anything helps.
Well you've got the firefighter look down already. Gotta get green flashing lights and decals for your bike so you can speed and not get pulled over. Congratulations!

Looking forward to hearing about your adventures, be safe.
From what I've heard, the training is more intense than any real life scenarios they've had to deal with. Should be a good time. Being a welder I'm already used to wearing protective equipment and dragging hoses into confined spaces. I've had a lot of safety training from those jobs too. Most of the stuff should be a refresher course.

My buddy inherited a house from an elderly aunt a number of years ago.

His kid's been living there but moved out after buying a house. Now his other kid is moving in for a while after breaking up with gf.

My buddy was cleaning 2nd story windows and looked out.

There are 8 plants in sight out the window, obscured at ground level by a shed, a pool and a fence with a couple blankets and a pile of leaves over it in the most vulnerable spots.

These are old houses in the middle of an old town, built close together circa 1930 surrounded by other houses.

Hope you have a low odor strain running there. I think I would have thrown up a lot more cover. And they can't be getting full sun all day.

That guy needs to join RIU and study up some.

Good luck though.

When I was in a volunteer fire company someone donated a house for us to burn down for practice. I think I used up 15 minutes worth of air in 5 minutes when it was really rolling and we were inside. I learned how to be short that day.
I did a LOT of shipboard damage control & fire fighting training but we used OBA's and not SCBA. The OBA is a 1940(ish) design & they occasionally fail to produce O2 - that can be a serious bummer while fighting a fire in a confined space!
