Today I had the pleasure to have been able to accompany my best friend to the "Fire Training Center" and witness him (and his co-workers) train and get re-certified. All I can say is WOW!!! I was at my closest maybe 200 yards away and the fires were HUGE! and HOT! All of this was way cool to watch in a controlled environment.
This is just the beginning of a "burn". Note that the firemen in the images are about 30 feet away from the flames.
In this one they are much closer and actively putting the flames out.
I took over a hundred images and you can see them HERE.
Thanks Chris for inviting me ...
