These photos are from a structural burn class held in Chapmanville, Pa. We took our tanker/tender to help them maintane a constant water supply. It was a good day of learning for the younger firefighters!
Put the wet stuff on the red stuff!

Thanks Douglas! I too liked that shot. I accidently lost several shots from this burn. They were some of the better ones too. Go figure! Thanks for the kind words!

Nice.
What are the red tags on the back of their helmets. I thought they may be for Breathing Apparatus id's but I think I can still see it in pic No.2 :?:

They are ID chits. Each firefighter has 2. One goes on a board that the site manager keeps to keep track of who is in the burn zone.
