I saw a posting that the Sedona Fire District was hiring reserve fire fighters / EMTs. They even paid for your training and gear. I thought, "what the heck?" and applied.
There were probably a dozen of the initial applicant.s I was stunned when I made it through the interview. It ended up being three of us who went to the next step - EMT school.
I spent months in night classes, and studied my ass off, though my studies were briefly interrupted by an emergency appendectomy. The final exam terrified me. Amazingly enough, I passed. One of my colleagues did not. Two of us went on to fire academy.
Here, we joined trainees from Verde Valley Fire District, Jerome Fire Dept., and Cottonwood FD. I was one of the oldest there, and the only female.
I kicked ass in the academics, and did OK in the practical aspects -- for a 5'4" out of shape chick. After months of training, and a few practice shifts, I passed the state Fire Marshall's exam. I was official.
I took a shift a month for a few months, long enough to determine that I wasn't cut out for this line of work. Most of our calls were medical -- not many fires / rescues / accidents. Also, you had to think fast and act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't, which just doesn't jive with an over-analyzer and doubter like myself.
Most importantly, you have to love it. You have to live and breathe EMS/Fire. I enjoyed it and I found it interesting. But I didn't love it.
So when I moved outside of the district, I left it behind.
I do miss the camaraderie and brotherhood. It truly is a family.
Foo Fighters live in St Paul, MN at the Xcel Energy Center. Sep 14, 2011 for the Wasting Light tour.
This cruise attracts exotics as well. These insane go-carts always get my interest.
I was gonna call it "lightweight champion" but then I'd have to listen to the Porsche fans cry (like when a Vette smokes 'em)!

My husband and me in front of a decommissioned jet parked on the Atsugi Naval Air Base. Yes, my husband can fix that engine, apparently. This was taken by my camera's self-timer.
