Once a month

Our local fire station pulls out all the stops for a training session.  I happen to pass just as the "really big ladder truck" was fully extended and they had the water going full blast out of the fire hydrant.  I turned around as fast as I could and made a bee line back to catch the water show, alas, 2 late but I still got to see the big truck fully extended.  The big chief explained that each month they do this and that all of the firemen from the station have to have a "hands on" with this particular truck.  Probably a good thing that I am not a fireman, I could never make it up the ladder with my fear of heights.  Awesome tho watching our locals do their job and knowing that they are well trained.  Hats off to you guys - next week I'll bring cookies.  Thanx for always being there for our community.
