Firefighter I 4/12/11

Journal:

What was the best part of your Spring Break?

Objective:

Today both the AM and PM Firefighter I classes prepped for the upcoming training scenario on Thursday.  The students built a "structure" from pallets and scrap wood to set on fire for the AM class.  The students will be able to put into practice the skills that they have learned in the Fire Hose, Fire Streams, and Fire Control chapters of the Essentials of Firefighting Manual.  Building the structure developed team work and allowed the students to be extremely creative.  All of the students in both classes did an excellent job.
