00:00:01,259 --> 00:00:03,259
Today , the men and women of Arnold 

2
00:00:03,259 --> 00:00:05,037
Fire emergency services had the 

3
00:00:05,037 --> 00:00:07,259
pleasure of having Colonel Gordon , the 

4
00:00:07,259 --> 00:00:09,370
ac commander train with us on airport 

5
00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:11,800
rescue firefighting techniques . So it 

6
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:14,032
was a chance for me to kind of live out 

7
00:00:14,032 --> 00:00:16,199
a little bit of a childhood fantasy of 

8
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:18,310
what it would be like to be a fireman 

9
00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:18,120
and to actually see the reality of it 

10
00:00:18,129 --> 00:00:20,240
compared to what you might see on the 

11
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:23,350
movies , probably the biggest thing I 

12
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,527
pulled from . It was just the physical 

13
00:00:25,527 --> 00:00:27,693
demands of what it means to put on all 

14
00:00:27,693 --> 00:00:29,638
of that gear and then to go into a 

15
00:00:29,638 --> 00:00:31,749
really , really dangerous environment 

16
00:00:31,749 --> 00:00:33,860
with the heat and the gasses that are 

17
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:36,082
available there , the confined spaces , 

18
00:00:36,082 --> 00:00:38,249
the darkness , the fact that they were 

19
00:00:38,249 --> 00:00:40,416
able to do that function as a team and 

20
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:42,082
to be able to operate in such 

21
00:00:42,082 --> 00:00:43,971
challenging environments . That's 

22
00:00:43,971 --> 00:00:43,659
probably the biggest thing I pulled 

23
00:00:43,669 --> 00:00:45,558
away from . It was just getting a 

24
00:00:45,558 --> 00:00:47,759
chance to feel the teamwork of what 

25
00:00:47,770 --> 00:00:49,103
that means to do that . 

26
00:00:57,610 --> 00:00:59,832
The colonel did a great job . He really 

27
00:00:59,832 --> 00:01:02,069
had a great time . He gained a great 

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,191
deal of understanding in what we do , 

29
00:01:04,191 --> 00:01:06,510
why we do it . And how we do it and he 

30
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:08,463
gained a good deal of confidence . 

31
00:01:13,879 --> 00:01:15,935
I really enjoyed it . Now , in their 

32
00:01:15,935 --> 00:01:17,990
case , they're dealing with fighting 

33
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:19,935
fires . But that same attitude and 

34
00:01:19,935 --> 00:01:19,739
mentality applies to the test 

35
00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:21,306
discipline that we have the 

36
00:01:21,306 --> 00:01:23,028
administrative and the support 

37
00:01:23,028 --> 00:01:25,139
divisions that we do all of that same 

38
00:01:25,139 --> 00:01:26,972
level of care for one another as 

39
00:01:26,972 --> 00:01:29,139
wingman was really demonstrated by the 

40
00:01:29,139 --> 00:01:28,930
fire department .
