Monthly blog

So this month I continued my pursuit to become a firefighter and took my part as an explorer. Over this past month we met 4 times all around 5-7 hours each and leaned about different things that help when a fireman. We also learned about these things called S.C.B.A, which stand for self contained breathing apparatus. They are basically the oxygen tank on a  fireman's back that he as he enters a burning building or some type of structure fire. A quick fact is that although many people believe that the tank is filled with oxygen, they are wrong. In fact it is filled with compressed air which is then taken in by the breather and turned into oxygen. Hopefully I will be ready for the next academy in January.
