Nice job Cim. . .!!!

[Jafo]

Nice Cim, just lay that ladder out in the horizontal position elevated and start walking it. I think that is one test that alot of F/F agility test do. I was gunna do that along time ago, now I'm just too crusty, I went to one of the top f/f schools in the nation at treasure island when I was in the navy. It is definately a rush to be in a burning building with flames all around.

[Roman]

LOL, Jafo just said flaming and navy in the same post!

[Danny]

Cim,

Great feeling to have. I'm sure you goter done then and you'll geter done tomorrow too. I'll be think and sending good vibes your way.

[oddball]

Follow the instructions they give you. Example: Skipping steps as you climb the tower with the hose on your back may be faster but they see it as a accident waiting to happen and then your part of the problem instead of the solution. Your (responders) safety always comes first. Good luck.

[Grumpy]

Let us know as soon as you can
