Ok been a while again, i suck at this blogging regularity thing...
Since my last post we've finished ladders, and moved on to hoses. Wheeee HOSES!!! I can feel the hurt!
We learned about coupling hoses, uncoupling hoses, draining hoses, charging hoses, carrying hoses, rolling hoses, unrolling hoses, nozzles, appliances, pumps, commands and all that jazz. I guess this is the meat and potatoes of the fire service, at least when it comes to suppression activities.
The last two days and the next two should be filled with fun and excitement ranging from you guessed it hoses to ... um hoses. Kinda monotonous and repetative but its all about muscle memory.
Not much to blog about yet other than you really don't realize how much backpressure these things create. Nearly threw a couple people across the room the first time they flowed water.
I'll post more later in the week when we've done more exciting stuff, tonight is testing evolution night so we'll see how people are doing.
