Manuel Alexander Barreto –
Amazing class! Very informative and hands-on! Awesome scenarios and site! I’m only an academy graduate, all the others were firefighters but they treated me like an equal. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone in the fire industry. Some people rented rooms near the site which I recommend if you’re commuting from far away. Make sure to ask about the use of ‘torpedo levels’ in the trenches.
