This set of photos are by far some of my favorite. I had the pleasure to work with firefighters for 2 and a half years and I was lucky enough to learn a lot from the group I worked with. The above photo is of a friend of mine which was taken on a training ground. Yes I was able to see new firefighters get their training and it was quite the experience. Not knowing anything and being able to see this at night was truly amazing.
I do not think we understand the amount of training it takes to make sure the skill set is there for a man or woman who will put their life on the line to save ours. I have a greater understanding as to why they train the way they do and I know I could not do what they do.
Below is another photo of a mock aircraft fire. Truly insane and I was 250 feet back from this on a cold night and I was still warm from the flames.
Now this photo is still pretty cool. Water being sprayed onto the aircraft from the left.At this point it started to steam as the metal from the aircraft was cooling. A rather fitting photo to be placed on this site.
