Here are some pics that Mark sent me from the fire academy. He is getting ready to graduate from his Fire Fighter I course. It is an intensive 5 month course that you need to work at any fire station. It includes physical training, some studying on weekends and some community service. It is such a demanding course that you can not work part time at the same time. He worked and saved all his money last year from working with Cal-Fire on a few of those big fires so that he didn't need to work for the last five months. Of course, after he completes this course, he still has to complete his AA degree in Fire Science!!
"45 foot doom raise, climbed up one side, got to the top, then you stick you hands out in the air with one leg on each side supporting you, then you go back down on the other side. Used to help gain confidence with heights." quoted by Fireman Ward
I think Mark is the tall one on the right!!
