Last day of the cycle for A-Shift.

At last count, we have 7 runs on the book for today. We had to run around in the morning getting "Fit Tested". Its where they check the seal on our air masks so we don't accidentally breathe in the bad stuff. Here are a few shots, one of Lt. Good O and one of Captain Weeks going through the grueling task.


And of course our very own Bevo....please note the custom mask he needed due to his abnormally huge cranium!

We have been busy today, but nothing like the last day with multiple fires. Today the Captain and Christmas(Noell) got a little nozzle time on a 1 story, metal structure(Dumpster)that had some flames and smoke showing on arrival. A quick knock down and we were on our way. Again, some more pics for you.........



That's all folks. The pipes are busting, so bring your "cold weather bag" you just might need it tonight. Everyone out there, be safe and have a good night. We'll see you back here in four days. Goodnight.
P.S. Congrats to all of those promoted today!

Rumor has it that “Bevo” was showing the Capt. how a nozzle works. In stead of the old pond and bucket method he grew up on.

I am not sure if that mask is still big enought for that head on Bevo. Speaking of Bevo, how did he get that name anyway, is there a good story about it?
