Fire Alarms
Our Tuesday morning began with a fire alarm, a fire had been spotted across the highway. The students all gathered outside the maintainence store, where they packed out the fire equipment for the more experienced fire fighters. The Buffel & the bakkie went out to the fire, which the fighters managed to contain relatively fast. The wind was strong but was blowing away from Sondela which was also a massive advantage for us. I was told to make a roster of all the students helping out at the fire store to ensure that once the fire was put out, that all the students were accounted for. The first years finally got their first taste of what the processes are for a real fire. With every new experience they get to learn just a little more and will be able to react faster, after all when it comes to fire fighting, time is of the essence. Once all the equipment and vehicles were back, it was then just checking the vehicles and equipment, ensuring everything was clean and in working order.
