That's me on the left, after a few entries inside the building.  Here, we are keeping an eye on a tree the homeowner wanted to keep.  Both of our helmets used to be as yellow as others in later pics..

I was in that doorway earlier on in the morning...

These are some of my former cadet firefighters (12-15), that are now Jr. firefighters (16-18).  Some I will have in Vermont Fire Academy level 1 course (which I just became a nationally certified instructor in) in the fall.

This guy is a retired Washington DC deputy chief.  He joined us last year.  Still can't get over how much training we do and how dedicated we are for a volunteer (actually paid call) fire department.

I believe this is me....fire is around the corner to the right in a small room....this was the first practice burn of the day.

Hi Brian,

What great pictures -- I am going to mention you in my newsletter by name if you don't mind to make sure our former Fairfax Residents from across the country come and check this posting out.  Many Thanks, keep up the good work.

Hi Brian,

I understand this is a practice Burn -- The place looks like one that was under construction -- What was the reason for burning it??

The homeowner actually just had renovated.  A building inspector came to give it a occupancy permit.  Discovered that the electrical was not up to code.  So rather than redo the electrical, the decided to tear down and try again.
It would also help to know that the owner is the wife of the FE Hart fence company founder...
