Dear readers,
There is a unique opportunity this evening to get close to the fire as the Texas Engineering Extension Service hosts a public firefighting demonstration at the Brayton Fire Training Field Wednesday evening. The gates open at 7pm and a children’s fire-awareness class begins at 7:30 p.m. Following the awareness class, TEEX instructors will explain and demonstrate techniques used to extinguish fires on selected full-scale, live-fire training props. The event will end at approximately 9:30 p.m.
Here is a link to the TEEX press release, where there is a google maps link to the event. I'll also be blogging from the event at TEEXblog.
Blue skies,

Well, Sam, you really stirred up a memory here for me. I grew up in Bryan and back in the 70's I played a "victim" for the Fireman Training school when they were learning extrication techniques. The "jaws of life" were the new thing! I don't actually remember where it was held, but I remember it was in College Station and there was a multi-story cinder brick building that was used for the training also.
