Monday
First thing, THE Fire Chief comes down and fires 3 classmates. No explanation, no better-luck-next-time, just leave your issued stuff and get out-see ya tomorrow at 0900 to fill out paperwork. We were a little shell-shocked, kinda spent the day walking around without really having a purpose as to where we were going or what we were doing at the moment. The day was spent learning Haz-Mat awareness, really more like trying to stay awake through it. After class, we did a few practical stations to get ready for the state to come test us Friday. On the way home, I was rear-ended at an intersection by another car (see previous entry).
Tuesday
The state came and tested us over Haz-Mat, we took a written and a practical test. We spent the day and a few extra hours studying and doing practicals.
Wednesday
Again, most of the day was spent on practicals. We took a vote and went home at the normal time. The Deputy Chief had given us a test, 100 questions long, and told us to do it-look up the correct answers- and don’t bother coming to work the next day if it wasn’t done. I was up late working on it.
I also found out that my boyfriend had to go to the emergency room that morning…kidney stone. As if I didn’t have enough things to stress over LOL.
Thursday
The state came and we took the written exam, as well as those of us that failed the Haz-Mat practical doing our re-take. The rest of the day (and a few extra hours) was more practicals.
Friday
It took from about 0800 until 1730, but everyone made it through the practicals. We also found out our scores on the written from the day before….everyone passed. That night, I was so tired I went to bed at 2030 (8:30) and slept until 0930.
