This picture is of a Helcopter fire and rescue course.
I trained on a similar course, we had to go in the fire and rescue a life sized dummy from the helicopter, the more teams went in the heavier the dummy got !!,
Wow! What an incredible training experience and great capture!
Artist Reply: Hi Sno ! nice to see you again !
It really was amazing training, I was the helicopter fire and rescue team on my ship on a world cruise !
Artist Reply: Thanks for your kind comment, it was a strange feeling walking in the flames, we had to fireproof our own suits with Borax, it kept it frire proof for 4 minutes, had to get in and out quickly !
Fantastic & Amazing
