What a week... 4 fires this week ! Wow... Last night it was a shed fire (small cannabis lab!), so the fire quickly propagated to the roof house. I was in the ventilation team on the roof... It was my first time 4x4 ventilation... I've taken a lot of smoke and flammes ! It was so cool ! It was a great training for me... cause i have my final test for FFI tomorrow... Cool !

Take care !
