guess who is officially certified to go into burning buildings now

@themilkman this is so cool

@whirly 2 days course, i am tired, did so much SCBA i am fully acclimated and pretty much only the weight is tanking me down now.

also that exercise where you get blasted with fire was cool, you learn in practice "yeah you won't get burnt but doesn't mean you are immune to heat"

@themilkman damn only 2 days? thats it? i wanna do this

@whirly i did have 2 years of experience doing stuff, some people just have months but in switzerland you need to pass as a recruit (not doing missions but participating in training, basically 3 hours every few weeks, with some other longer ones every now and then).

you also need some experience in SCBA and a health test, at least enough to operate that damn thing, trust me first time you use it, it halves your strength basically until your body gets acclimated to it.

but i def recommend joining a voluntary fire department, sure it can be tough but it's good and fulfilling work, so while sometimes your body gets tired, mentally it's refreshing, and whenever i find myself itching back to depressive habits it always slaps me back to my senses and gets my mood up
