Village Fire Fighting Assessment


Well, I did it. I went to the Village Fire Fighting (VF) assessment today. I passed, but I am now quite tired. We were assessed on a response to a motor vehicle accident, a structural fire and ropes, ladders and fire extiguishers. It was quite a cold and rainy day, but that still didn't stop us working up a sweat in our gear!!! We had to do three runs of each excercise and, as the assessors said, if we didn't get it right within three runs we would fail. It was only a small group of us and most had put in a lot of practice, so there were no problems.

Well the next thing up is first aid in May and then I will look at when I can do Advanced Fire Fighting, which takes it all to the next level.

Talk again soon!!!!!!!!!!

Great photos guys, I still can't get over the fact that you're encouraged to light fires. Serran thinks your paintings are cool.
