State Fire Testing

Last Saturday we had our big state Firefighter test. Talk about nerve wracking! We have been in class since March, and I was so burned out. It was a Haz-Mat, Firefighter I and Firefighter II class all crammed into one, with one long marathon test day.

There was last minute cramming all around.


We had 2 written tests in the morning followed by a long afternoon of practical tests. We had to do put our SCBA's on in under 1 minute, roll fire hose in under 1 minute, put a "car fire" out, crawl under the garage in full gear to simulate a confined space escape, raise a ladder, demonstrate extrication, and a few other skills.


Mindi, Jason, Andy and Kyle not taking the test seriously.



There were a few breaks to cool off (and cram for what the next test would be!)





Our whole class...thrilled to be done!


AND....I got my letters back from the state a few days ago and I passed all my tests! WOOT! It was a long and exhausting class, but I'm so happy it is over (and that I actually passed)

I'm not even going to apologize this time for my lack of all things blog. Because an apology would suggest that I intend to not do it again. While that may be my intent, its probably not very plausible, so lets all just accept that fact and move on.
So, here we go....

We spent a nice warm July 4th weekend in St. George. We got to see Jaiden again and I bought her the cuest 4th of July outfit ever.


It was over 100 degrees the entire time we were there. We got to lay in the pool, go shopping, BBQ and play Wii.



Jason was pretty smitten with Jaiden. Maybe we will have to get ourselves one of those soon.
