Introduction to Firefighting 5/3/11

Journal:

How do you feel about the death of Osama bin Laden?  How do you feel it will affect America in coming days?

Objectives:

Today the students had the opportunity to learn about the Denver Drill.  Students were taught about how Denver firefighter Mark Langvardt died in a fire in 1992 and the steps the Denver Fire Department took after his death to ensure that a fatality like that would not happen again.  Students used the CTC Denver Drill Prop to practice various methods of firefighter confined space rescues.  The Introduction to Firefighitng Class also used a few "new" methods that were not practiced by the Firefighter I Class to rescue the downed firefighter.  The students have worked very hard over the last two days and have really gained a great appreciation for how physical firefighting really is.
