Every one of us has in himself a continent of undiscovered character. Happy is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul. - Sir J. Stevens

Goals Completed: 11
Goals in Progress: 27

Today I finished the Firefighter Academy (#67), completing all of the classes and evolutions to become a Wildland Firefighter 2. I still have a few things to make up, and I’m not fire-tested, but I have completed the Academy. Today for the final evolution, I was handed the radio and promoted to Squad Leader for the simulated fire. Our squad cut a fire line to flank an aggressive head of the fire, cutting brush and a berm in a hillside for a cup trench to meet another Squad and save a structure, and then we tactically withdrew when the simulated fire and weather conditions worsened. I got the job done, and nobody was hurt or had to deploy their fire shelters. It was a good day, and good training. I suspect I’ll need it.
