TFACA -56k=no-
Well, I recently Graduated from TFACA Nov 9th.
Tennessee State Fire Academy
We are very lucky to have one of the best facilities in the country.
I am personally very proud to now say I am a certified FireFighter I,
I would like to get my FireFighter II certification, however Its not required anywhere.
Following the Family tradition of Both my parents being FireFighters.
This Jan I will be attending Columbia State for my EMT.
I was approached after graduation by a Local city Fire Chief
and told to put an Application in, in Feb. :D
So things are looking Up for my future. I can't wait to begin.
Well here are a few pictures. These are all just of me pretty much.
There was a total of 1,200 Pictures taken between the students and I picked out a few
of myself.
There is a Video, However Its not done. It will come later.
Well I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I was so freaking Happy.
I was on shift, and we had a hard day of training like normal. and then had a Huge *** Gas Fire and propane fire and something else.
Was awesome as hell. :D

Instructors have to have fun on Halloween too. :lol:

Some more of me on the nozzle



The instructors got in on the fun.....


This is one of my favorite pictures. Me on the nozzle closest to the camera. Having a hell of a time.
Loved every second of it. although the 2,700* burning propane got a bit steamy :lol:

I had a question sent via PM.
mtny (3:58 PM 11/15/2007): how long did you have to attend TSFA and where is it? im in chattanooga.
The actuall Name is TFACA
Tennessee Fire And Codes Academy
The FireFighter 1 course is an 8 Week course.
Every Day Mon-Fri for 8 weeks.
6am-6pm normally. And during Burn week you must stay all week.
They have dorms On campus
However I have heard that they are changing the Course to include

This means it will be taken from 8 Weeks to 12-14 weeks
The next course is in March If im not mistaken.
