The Backroom Crew

This is a place where we can sit down, put our feet up and chill. Where the Boys and Girls can just be themselves. The Back Room or what most firefighters call a ''day room or rec room'' is the social point of every firehouse.

Ernie, practice !! and do it the same exact way each time, be methodical in the process of getting into your gear, after practicing, and doing it the same way each time, it will become second nature, but she's right, always have someone check, and pat yourself down as your walking..... helps keep your mind focused as well

Focus on the basic - before you get carried away with all the fancy equipment...

Ernie YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE _ ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT !!!

Deliberately ASK another FF or a few - is my gear all done up right... Even if they snap at you - who cares - they will probably answer the question and will save your life !!!

That is something that I have been trying to work on Heather, but I really need to get more time into getting it done and more often!!!! I was kind of surprised that my Lt. didn't catch that as he helped me get masked up.
