As the fire codes have been in place, followed and/or improved, over the years the number of fire runs are about 20-25%, while ambulance/rescue runs are 75-80% of firefighters' work. <br /><br />The men and women are continually taking classes to maintain/improve/upgrade their work, which, in most cases, is to save us from ourselves. A great many are also endurance athletes, both to improve their own job performance and to support their brothers, should a problem be encountered.<br /><br />Years ago, I wore a boyfriends' turnout gear to work for Halloween. While I was in good shape then, by noon I was drenched in perspiration, more from the weight of the gear than its being heavy Nomex. Whew! Hot work in more ways than one!Speedwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294062505751359294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-46049876440977025392010-12-08T11:13:34.453-08:002010-12-08T11:13:34.453-08:00gina b:

The Fire House tour sounds a lot better than crowded Castle Green one.
