Training Day

The day started out a little sluggish here at the green hotel. As usual the medic truck ran a few before lunch, nothing too critical i don't think. After an early lunch we headed out to the training center for the Suspended Ceiling class put on by retired Roanoke County Chief Poff. Chief Poff put on a great class that was enjoyed by all of us. We learned some great tactics and self rescue techniques that may save our life someday. Here's a couple pics from the practical portion of today's training....Note Mr. Austin is actually doing stuff, now I know you can't see his face so you may be hesitant to believe it's actually him but I assure you it is. A big thanks goes out to Chief Poff for our training today.As we were concocting dinner we got a call for a tractor trailer truck fire....we were going down Preston when we noticed some smoke, we thought wow, we might actually see some fire today! Nope! we arrived to find broke down tractor trailer truck in the middle of Plantation that had blown it's turbo....the most excitement we got was a little oil on the groud. We stayed on scene with the truck til Woods showed up to give the guy a lift. Besides that there was an EMS call at the ol' BDubs, it's a good thing we remembered to put the bandaid sticky side down. Of course if we had forgotten how these pesky bandaids work, M9 was there to lend a helping hand.....til the next one...
