Earlier I signed up for the Duncanville Citizens Fire Academy. Today I got a letter saying I've been accepted for their next twelve week class starting on June 19, 2008.

Congats, and good luck. I presume you have been running and working out a lot. Fireguys admire that, and the job requires it...

Thank-you, everyone. What I am most interested in is the instruction in CPR and first aid. Of course I will be learning more than that. . . .

Quote:
Students are shown techniques that firefighters use to search a structure where the visibility is near zero. The class will then don PPE and enter a simulated smoke filled building to conduct a search.

I hope the PPE will fit over my glasses. If not, I can manage without my glasses.

I wonder if there will be any other women in my class. We'll see.

My brother wears medium sized lenses and he can get his mask on no trouble.
