We had fire fighting drills and learned to use the Self Contained Breathing Apparatis (SCBA: the masks in the picture). We learned about type A, B, C, & D fires. Different types of extinguishers used, how to put on the gear how to use the hose and how to actually go into a burning building and put a fire out (it was a real simulated exercise). Also other dynamics of fire and fire safetyThen we also had water safety training. We learned about life rafts, how to flip one. how to huddle up if you have to abandon ship. we learned to put on a "Gumby" suit. Its a full body insulation suit that looks rediculous :-p but may save yer life. we learned to jump in with it on, and swim and climb in a life raft. It was all so much fun! I am now BST certified by the coast guard! There are more pictures on facebook for anyone who has it and would like to look.
