So tomorrow is the first day of my new classes – the fire academy. Yes, even after all this mess in the last few months with some pushing from Kate and friends I have decided to continue on with my plans to become a firefighter.Last week I was fitted for uniforms, and today Kate and I are going to pick up my books. Next week some time I should be able to pick up my pull-out gear, because unlike many other academies in the area – our fire academy is going to train with live fire – also known as real fires. Kate is somewhat nervous about me firefighting, but she knows its been a dream of mine for a long time, and she feels I should still pursue my dreams.
With that, I leave you with a video of the most important skills in the fire fighting trade:

Good luck with your classes Zach!
Firefighter? WOW!
Best wishes with your very worthwhile career Zach.
This is great, Zach. Good luck with it!
Zach, once they find out you have been arrested and committed, they will kick you out. Your wasting your time.
Actually they know I was arrested. And I was not committed, try voluntary admission.
Zach- Nice work moving forward. This will be very, very good for you!!!
Wow! Way to be supportive JJ!!!
Good luck with your classes, Zach!
In kindergarten, I wanted to be a firefighter–though I think it was just for the cool hat. My 5-year-old self salutes you
hey, baby have a great night at school.
i love you
Who is this JJ person? GEEZ! Talk about a serious Debby Downer!
Congrats on starting Firefighting school Zach. I’m proud of you. And you’d be surprised what people are arrested for and still work for the community. I know someone that was arrested for a DUI and is now a TANKER for the US Army in Afghanistan. I know someone else who was arrested for something else stupid and is an EMT, about to be a paramedic. Your dreams will come true. Be strong and don’t let people knock you down.
And I was just thinking… Having something to work towards has always helped me with my depression. Having a goal and something to look forward to in your future is always something that helps to give a more positive outlook on life.
