Think it through, have a system, I turn up and do A,B,C, etc, Practise a few times, and don't rush, rushing equals screw up's....make the turning out a mental routine.... we make the rookies practise turning out until it's natural... enjoy the rid...

Just like Justin Buck said, We all make mistakes, we just hope it doesn't hurt anyone. That is a good laugh. lol. Get a few more under your belt and it will get easier. You start to make a routine.

Even veterans get nervous, amped up and the adrenaline flowing at times. I've found the best thing to do, as Justin/F-225 said, is just take a couple deep breathes.

Fire Runs

Recently got to go on a mva with the fire department. What a rush! I was apparently quite nervous when the call came out. I did not make the first out squad but did get to go with the Tanker. The firefighter who I went out to the scene with was nothing short of amazing.

I say that because he knew I was nervous. I was already on station when he walked into the station. I was back at the lockers donning my turnout gear when Dave came in and said Let's Roll! I grabbed everything i could get my han… Continue

Mandatory Fire Class

As I have been going through the class, I realize one thing. I have been in this business for 18 years and I feel I taken the firefighter for granted. I am embarassed to say that but feel I have. The SCBA aspect of the job was very difficult for me. I did not realize I have a mild form of clostrophobia. I will admit it was very scary at first but did manage to make it through the practice practicals.

The thing I need to say about the firefighter itself. It takes a very special person to do this… Continue

Firefighter Class

I just recently started the mandatory firefighter class in hopes to become a member of the Attica Fire Department. I understand it can be somewhat intense but I am looking forward to the challenge. The group that makes up the Attica Fire Department are a great bunch of guys who I would have no problem trusting my life to. I just want to return the favor. Wish me luck!!
