Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am wanting the training but even today at a safety meeting the head of the safety commity said that since I was not SCBA certified I wasn't to be so close and of course that meant someone else should have been taking pictures, like my husband who is a certified fire fighter. I am still learning. Vicki/Lady Vader www.freewebs.com/romanticdreamscometrue www.freewebs.com/victoriadutton Re: Fire, training and Fibro bad combo Vicki, what an escapade. I know you really wanted to be there for the training. But my goodness what you put yourself through. Girl, you better rest now and stay away from burning buildings for a while. LOL. (of course that is a good tip for everyone). LOL. It is nice to hear from you. Hope you are feeling better soon sweetie. hugs, Debra V.

First thing Saturday morning Pat and I got up, got dressed and headed over to the fire dept. He first had us go and pick up the tanker from the second dept. Since we were having a big traning day. Things were going well, but suddenly it seemed I was to be the person that was taking pictures, video and watching. Since I am not a fully trained fire fighter I couldn't enter the building for the traning. So of course that wasn't a had thing I enjoyed watching and taking pictures problem is that meant I was no more than a few feet from a burning building all day. We started the training about 10 am and that meant I was inhailing smoke since we started. Toward the end I was complaing that I was having a hard time breathing. So pat took the camera from me and sent me to have a nice sit down with the medics, now that was a total of three different members of the dept that had gone to see the medics that day, but I was the one that was having a issue since I couldn't breathing. They put me on oxgyen and had me sit down for a while, I missed the end of the fire but at least I knew that I had proper care. Yes I know that I wasn't wearing proper gear to be that close to a fire but they wouldn't give me anything. But I knew that I would also pay dearly for going all day on my feet. I have bad legs, knees, back and such. so what is worse I also went to work the next day and today of course. And I have to work tomorrow. if I can make it, I am also sick.
