General - Bulletin Board Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:18:10 +0100 http://iaff27.org/content/view/285/126/ The following article is from Tim Burgess's website www.timburgess.com (http://www.timburgess.com/) Fire, Smoke, Heat . . . WOW! That about sums Thursday-Friday up. I spent a day-and-a-half in Richland, Washington with Seattle firefighters Kenny Stuart and Dave Churchill going through Fire Ops 101, a five-part simulation exercise designed to put me and other elected officials in a firefighter's boots for a day. The event was sponsored by the International Association of Firefighters. It was an exhausting, exciting, eye-opening experience. My day started with suiting-up about 40 pounds of bunker gear, boots, mask, air tank, and helmet. The weather was perfect, about 70 degrees outside. My first stop was the burn building at the Hammer Training Facility. PAC - PAC Public Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:02:54 +0100
