...it's CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training. Community Emergency Response Team training is a Federal Emergency Management Agency program that educates citizens about the hazards they face in their community and trains them in lifesaving skills. If needed following a disaster, these citizen-responders use their training as part of a neighborhood or workplace team to help others when professional responders are overwhelmed or not immediately available. CERT members provide immediate assistance to victims in their area, organize spontaneous volunteers who have not had the training, and collect disaster intelligence that will assist professional responders with prioritization and allocation of resources when they arrive. Craig and I are taking the 8 week class and last night we covered fire suppression. After classroom instruction, we walked across the street to the fire station and actually practiced P.A.S.S. (pull, aim, squeeze, sweep) in putting out fires.
Here is a Houston Fireman using lighter fluid to light a fire...
Craig had more fun checking out the fire truck...
I am ready to roll...
Watch out fire here I come!!!
