What a hard fought day at the fire station today.

Due to some newly acquired land the county has for a new courthouse, Madisonville Fire department has a number of buildings that we can demolish for training.  We had the opportunity to practice breaching concrete block walls, cut through exterior walls with a K-12 & chainsaw, attack basement fires with a piercing nozzle, and ventilate a roof with hand tools.

In all, it was a wonderful class, and I learned quite a few new techniques. However, due to the heat I now have a pounding headache.
