Firefighting Training


Friday, June 15, 2012

As I went down to open the library this morning, the rec room outside was very warm and I found myself surrounded by cadets. They were putting on huge boots and suits, checking the gauges and valves on their oxygen tanks, and adjusting the full-face mask. Gear is strewn all about and a hose ran from one end of the rec room to the other, out the door into the cadet lounge. The door opened. Captain Stephens came in from the cadet lounge. He rigged the cadet lounge into an obstacle course and made it completely dark. In teams of two, cadets in full gear would hose down the fire, and the next team would search for human dummies. This went on all day and will continue through tomorrow and the day after until every 2nd and 3rd class cadet gets a go at it.
