I just spent 3 days at College Station the following are some pictures i took while moving thru the projects ..bear in mind this guys are all volunteers from the 4 companies within our facility who volunteer as firemen , medic and rescue people.

Top picture is where one of the boys lost his hat as they went up to make valve closure, we train so those things happen while we are trainingg and not during the real thing, the fire are hot nfire: and the scene is real , man has control of the fuel unlike a real fire where it is out of control; our job is to get it under control and isolate it.without anyone getting hurt.
Second picture is wher the man lost his hat, the same fire as pic 1, the 3 rd the burn was aborted due to the fire getting out of control, the ops chief called it off, so no one would get burned .
The fourth shot is one of a TEEX employee what controls the fuel to the fires,and tries to keep us from frying, her name is Andrea.
