Well as some of you may know i am a proud member of the Alvinston Fire Rescue. Hopefully one day become a full time fire fighter. Now i shall tell a storie of the fires time in a fire.
3 years back in the middle of the summer s perosn gave us there old house of training. Starting on a Saturday morning we begain to do structure fire fighting. It was getting towards the end of the day when it was my turn to go into the house. Being that it was my first time i felt a little nervious but also knowing i had a good guy on the nozzle with me. As i went to the truck to get my S.C.B.A. ( self contained breathing apparatuse) the people in the house had already lit the fire not knowing this i walk up the the front law with my partner and we start to get ready. Soon the other guys there were yelling at us to get in there before we lose the house. I grab my stuff and head for the front door
Dropping down low in the hea i strap on my S.C.B.A. and turn on the tank. i put on my mask ( remeber i'm in the house with the fire burning 5 feet from me) and put on my baliclava then the helmet and starp that on but in my regulatore to my face peice and grab the hose. just out of blue the interiour wall came down on top of us breaking over our helmets. with the tempurature exceepding 12OO 0F. For the first tiem i feel the heat and my visor starts to melt we hit the fire with one short blast of water then attacking it in an O pattern knocking down the fire with in mins i realize how close i cam to being hurt but how much addreneline rush I have.
