its usually hot, and fairly physically demanding. Be patient, take your time and don't get frustrated with yourself or the situations. Most of all, have fun it was a good class.

Yep what he said. Be patient and methodical. Take the extra minute or two to formulate a good plan, but don't plan the mitigation to the point the victim dies why your planning.

Usually pretty hot, think things through prior to going in, and don't become a victim yourself.. Use good body mechanics as well, had a couple guys end up with back strains because they were trying to be macho!! It was actually great experience for me though..

Brush up on ropes and knots, prepare to spend a lot of time on your knees and get ready to be very overheated. The key to it is to not be in a hurry. Take your time and go slow.

I did it 10 years ago. Very cool class. Trench rescue was also cool.

Its no big deal Ed. This is also a good time of year to do it. They had me in a level A suit in August.

I just got an email at work with some tips about confined space safety. The powerpoint presentation was too big so I just grabbed the pics out of it.

If you hear the words "bone mic", DO NOT volunteer.

Bone mics are small discs with a point in the middle. The point digs into your scalp (feels much longer than it is) and transmits the sound to your ear via your skull.

We use the newest MSA brand of SCBA's with the mic in the face shield.

Man, why didnt I get into something like this when I was a youngster Tomorrows the last day of class, 3 more entries to do. I cant believe how much fun it is working with all the Firefighters and all their cool toys.
I really do wish I had experienced stuff like this a long time ago. Much, much coolness
