Due to my schedule I don’t make as many calls with my local first responder group as I’d like, and with book tour now pretty much underway I won’t make many or any for a while. But I enjoyed going to training the other night. It’s just comfortable to hang out in a fire hall with people who speak the language of smoke and rescue.
Safety is always big concern, especially when we work on or near a roadway. Nowadays we are required to wear reflective vests. Our training officer sent us a reminder email about this recently, and used a rhyme to drill it into our heads: “If your feet are on the street, your vest is on your chest.”
Looking forward to tour…but also looking forward to being back on the street, vest on my chest.
