One Week Til Midterm

We're almost to the midterm and its just been getting harder and harder
in the book. Our midterm is a written test and also practicle skills
from the OSU FST skills.

Its been getting funner and funner as the academy has gone along. We
went through the Sapulpa Burn trailor a few times and did some fire
control practice also. On the 28th we're going to OSU to do our live
burns which we're all looking forward to.

Hands on experience

Well another week is down. I think we've got about 72 or 73 days left.
We're finally starting to get caught up and we got to do some live fire
training. We had a fire behavior practical which was pretty fun. They
started a fire in the Tower and we went in and got to see how smokey it
really gets. We crawled around and got to feel how hot it can get. They
also took us out to a house fire and we got to help do some overhaul and
even got more training while there. It was pretty cool talking to the
first in engine guys and them telling us what the fire was doing and
what they did to get it out.
