Almost exactly a year ago, I was completing fire training with a Fire Field Day at Hungry Mother State Park. This included a bunch of practical, hands-on training with pumps, hand tools, fire shelters, and lots of other stuff, including the Pack Test (walk 2 miles in 30 minutes carrying 25 pounds). I really enjoyed doing it alongside my fellow Americorps members--the camaraderie was the best thing about that training, and it felt awesome to be cheered on (and to cheer others on). Hopefully we're able to put together something just as fun (safely!) for this year's crews!⠀ ⠀ #americorps #throwbackthursday #tbt #prescribedburning #firefieldday #dcr #ilovevirginiastateparks #virginiaserviceandconservationcorps #vscc #virginiastateparks #publicservice #training #seekingtobebetterthanyesterday #cozycabin #hungrymotherstatepark #notart #redmakesyoufaster https://www.instagram.com/p/CK46PGFDHaL/?igshid=102r3d3m4h9n3
