September 14th - Cal-Fire picnic day

We were fortunate enough to be able to attend a Cal-Fire picnic day that was held in Ione. It was a rare opportunity for members of the Cal-Fire family to see the men and women in action with their equipment and training at the facility in Ione California.

We had a wonderful day watching some of the hazards that fire fighters face as well as the training they are given to develop skills to deal with emergencies they face every day. We got to see the force involved in an air-bag deployment. We also got to see how a fire-fighter bails out of a window and slides down a ladder. Most impressive though, was the back draft demonstration.









Eric's hoping that the Aviation branch has a Picnic or Family day next year.

Happy camping!

Eric and Carol Anderson
