Stacy White said… - remember me from the FF safety and survival class?? Wanted to thank-you again for a great class, the work was hard, but the experience was fantastic. Thanks for being patient with me...I know my lack of RIT training slowed the class down, but overall I think everyone was supportive and that is what being a team is all about!
