I'm plum wore out. Between late night calls on duty and workin hard at home I'm nearly loco. The fires have been small, but because of the types of buildings involved, they were fairly significant. The Fairbanks bunch are fast moving and aggressive on quick knock downs. But when we get big fire, we tend to miss step a bit because we don't get them as often and are not quick to transition.
As for the other thing, my uncle in Balto. Co. Fire always said: "Observe, Evaluate, Maintain your flexibility, always bobbing and weaving and don't give the bastards a clear shot at you!"
Call if you need to.
