Friday Frosted Flakes: A Weekend at Fire School, Incognito in Psyche Evalution, and Star Wars Rankings

I spent this past weekend in Grand Island for the Annual Fire School put on by the Nebraska State Volunteer Firefighter Association (NSVFA). I am a relative newbie to my fire department so they sent me with two others “newbies” from the department for the Intro to Fire Fighting Class.

Going through that class we had to wear our SCBA (Self-Controlled Breathing Apparatuses) with our bunker gear for about an hour and a half while doing push-ups, jumping jacks and some light running. Then the instructors blinded us by putting saran wrap over our masks so we couldn’t see.
