It's been awhile

Sorry I have neglected to post lately and keep yall guys updated on how the fire station stuff is going. Well I was voted in last Thursday its been a month since I have joined, I can't believe it, a month?? It's a lot of fun and everyone is so nice and so funny out there.

Well I have been training a lot, so far I have learned to roll a hose, carry a hose, turn the nozzle, fill the trucks with water, work the fire hydrant, hook up hoses to the trucks and hydrants and turning the water on...Tonight I trained in how to put the masks on, so when you go into a structure fire you can have fresh air, its not oxygen in the tanks because 100% oxygen can make u high and such its just regular air your breathing right now...but we geared up, got in the truck and took off to our "structure fire" which we just went to the back of the station where they store two trucks that dont work at the moment, but we pretended it was on fire and such and it was fun, then after that they trained me on how to put out a propane fire I got soaked but I am trained on how to do that now, and also last thing I learned tonight was to fill our tanks with air... oh yeah and how to correctly put the gear on and take it off and remove and apply the tanks back on the backpack dilly... but yes I enjoy it a lot. Before we left one of the guys told me "missy you did a really good job tonight..." Then one of the other guys said "People usually get claustrophobic and you either got it or ya dont, and girl you got it!" The only thing I did wrong when I had the mask on and the structure fire training was my breathing was a little to intense, I need to learn not to get so "excited" but I am most definitely glad I joined.

This is the mask and tank I was talking about...I had it all on tonight.
