James...congrats on the fire. When I went through "fire school" our final exam was they put us in an old farm house and set it on fire room by room. We would than travel back and forth watching the different phases of fire, we pulled out when the upstairs started flashing over and than got to practice defensive operations from outside. Pretty good system they have, along with excellent instructors. Ensures everyone has been exposed to fire before making there first run.
All that being said, a guys first fire is almost as good as his first time with a woman, you will never forget it!
Welcome aboard James, you'll be an "Old Vet" before you know it!
