Friday I graduated for the Washington State Fire Academy receiving international certifications for Fire Fighter I and II, Hazmat Awareness and Hazmat Operations. (Honey let's move to Germany and fight fire.) I was voted by my peers as the most inspirational recruit. I also received awards for the Bulldog and for leading the class. Capt. Baker gave the commencement address with a charge to continue our adventure to strive to always continue to become better firefighters.
As Jonathan snapped photos I stood to speak. I opened with a quote from him, "Daddy are you going away to fir
e camp again?" My address to the 300 gathered friends, family and brass was one of thankfullness to all on behalf of WSFTA class 09-02. It was an honor I will never forget. The class plaque seen above was a project of love made from recycled fence wood and an antique extinguisher.
The last week of class was a blast. We completed a lot of fun training and a few not quite so fun hours of lecture on PAPERWORK. Below area few training shots of stadium raises on a regular 24' and a 50' Bangor ladder and a shot of Shannon, Tony (the other one) and Me on top of Mailbox peak.
