AFC : Hell Week

Alabama Fire College

Last week was Hell Week at the Alabama Fire College in Tuscaloosa. They are currently in their third week of training. Below are a few pictures from the training that was going on during my visit on Friday, March 30, 2007.

The Fire College is on a beautiful campus with all the modern equipment needed to make it one of the finest around. It really is amazing how much the Fire College has grown since I went through back in the 80's.

I will be bringing more from the classes at the Fire College in the future.

I want to say a special thank you to Chief Pate for allowing me to attend and his hospitality. I would also like to thank Instructor Winborn for helping to arrange my visit.
