Structure Fire Training…

Saturday morning,  Bill, Lacey and I went down to Boise to the Fire Department Training Tower with the Wilderness Ranch VFD to do some structure training. We had to suit up with air tanks/masks and all and crawl through the smoky, dark building and find dummy victims and bring them out. We also learned how to bring an injured firefighter out, and lets just say it isn’t quite as easy and glamorous as on tv! The air tanks and gear add an additional 40 pounds or so to the weight.
