 Saturday's
recruit class taught us the proper application of water to effectively
and efficiently control a fire. The way we practice, we focus on life
safety, property conservation, and environmental protection. Our instructors
guided us in water conservation which in turn minimizes water damage
when combating a fire. We firefighters may not seem like we are cautious
in our fire suppression efforts, but in all actuality we do the best
we can to save your property. That is why we are there in the first
place. Small amounts of damage are acceptable when faced with the
extreme situation of losing the entire structure, or possibly life.
All the while, we learned about hose, water applications, and proper
firefighting techniques, we were also constantly drilled on previous
lessons such as ventilation and accountability, and rescue. This recruit
class has been amazing in the amount of knowledge I have gained and
I hope all of you interested in firefighting take this particular
academy. It will truly tell you if you are cut out to be a fire fighter.
