My other "job"……

Some of my old workmates from YVR came out to train at NORD for a week.
I was sceduled to come light some fires for them on my days off from work!
It was sure nice to see them again….
but back to work:

The old van isn’t looking so good….


Under Chris’ (my old supervisor) expert supervision,
couple guys on the safety line….

Doug (my boss at NORD) talking to the Attack team about some vehicle fire tactics….

Git ‘er done!

Boys enjoying a brief break from the action:

A quick debriefing session by Doug before the next round:

Heading in for a cylinder refill, water refill and a well deserved break!

Alistair, one of NORD‘s Instructors and an awesome Fire Tech! He’s taught me some tricks of the trade…..

Oh oh! Dumpter’s on fire again?!?!!?

These guys are on it!

No problem!

Things get worse from here…..

Now a propane tank is on fire!
But this isn’t a problem for the crews from YVR!
The team being coached by Chris, approaching the propane tank:

Snuffed the flames out, but they still have to shut the propane tank off!

Emergency decontamination practice; get out of all your gear without coming in contact with the outside of it:

We also did a whole bunch of evolutions in the burn building but pictures don’t turn out so well when i’m inside lighting the fires…..
It get really HOT in there, 300 celcius around the 3′ mark up to 800 celcius (or more) around 7′!
No wonder I look so hot and tired…..
Thanks for a great couple days boys!!!!!
Miss yah….
