Well, I couldn't add this to Dennis' weekend accomplishments thread but I wanted to show you some of what I did this past week. I work at a large chemical company on the Houston Ship Channel and part of my job is being an On Scene Commander and instructor for our fire brigade. This has been pretty cool to say the least. I also get to do some instruction at Texas A&M (generally through the company) which is where these pictures were taken. When I get to instruct others we have them come from ALL over the world - I have instructed people from every continent with the exception of Antartica - but I understand they set fires there on purpose to keep warm. We were there this past Tuesday thru Thursday burning day and night fires.
The first pic is of me walking back to staging following another successful burn (just showing off a little bit there in the pic - kinda like asking "Is that all you got?"). The second is of a night burn and I am on the far left - probably shouting instructions. The others are just some shots of us at work.
I hope you all enjoy these - this is my other hobby and I must say - I love it too.
