Rain, lightning and a toasty fire ...

Despite being delayed by rain, thunder and lightning the fire training went on today and we all survived! We had to put out two gas fires with extinguishers then the big one ...  a wood burning fire in a metal container. To extinguish this one we had to use a large fireman's hose (which is quite heavy). I'm told that the container reached a high temperature of 400 degrees F. How many people can say they were in a room like that and survived??? It was pretty toasty but the suit does an amazing job. Now off to conquer the written test!
