Thursday, we had a fieldtrip to the LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute (FETI).  
 
Before starting the fieldtrip, we took a group shot. 
 
 
Then we went inside and Crew Chief Crain told the kids general information about fire safety: smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and safety ladders for upstairs. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then we watched the following video to see examples of some of the training is done. 
Then he had 3 recruits come in and do a 2 minute drill to see who could get their gear on the fastest. 
Afterwards, the kids got to talk to the firemen in their gear and take pictures with them. 





 
 
I wonder what Cade & Luke are talking about. 
 
  
  
  
 
When we were finished talking with the firemen, we went outside to see the LSU firetruck. 

 
 
We weren't able to see a burn or ride in the fire truck today like we did in 2010 (another post from 2010), but they gave us a ride on the trailer around the facilities. 
 
The guy in the following video was the one who was in charge of our fieldtrip.
