You are toasty, but air still circulates until you bend your elbows or knees. After pulling on boots, you strap on the 25-pound self-contained breathing apparatus \u2014 a backpack that rests on your hips, not your shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Over your hood, you tug on the mosquito-like mask and pull the tabs at your chin and temples. Pressing your palm against the mouth opening, you breathe in to ensure an airtight seal around your face. A regulator fits into this opening and twists to seal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Finally, your equipment includes a motion-detection sensor. If you don\u2019t move for 20 seconds, a pre-alarm goes off. Twelve seconds later, red lights flash, and a shrill signal alerts to a possible firefighter down. Shaking your hips kills the alarm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Suiting up takes you at least 10 minutes, while a firefighter cadet must do it under two.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45\" class=\"wp-image-45 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-1-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_feeling_the_burn-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_feeling_the_burn-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_feeling_the_burn-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_feeling_the_burn-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_feeling_the_burn.jpg 893w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-45\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo courtesy of fire protection technology program<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\">Turning up the heat<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Fully suited, you and three other employees shuffle into the training facility. The multi-story concrete building has metal doors, hatches, and windows for home, commercial, and maritime scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">One instructor stays with each of you in case you need help \u2026 or you panic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">You sit on haybales inside a concrete room, doors slammed shut, only one window open behind you. Call it like it is: claustrophobia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">About 10 feet away, firefighters ignite another set of haybales. The flames, leaping up, slowly intensify from a crackle to a roar. You point an infrared camera at them, and the temperature jumps from three digits to four.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Mesmerized, you inhale, and cool, fresh air fills your lungs. The environment feels real, but your brain reminds you this is only a scenario.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Something is going off \u2014 your alarm. You snap back to life and start swaying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The firefighters use a direct attack on the fire, snuffing out the flames by hosing the base of the fire. A minute later, they torch the haybales again. These flames finally reach and cross the ceiling, advancing toward you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">You\u2019re standing now, pressing your gloved hand against your helmet. It\u2019s starting to bake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">When the firefighters turn the hose onto these larger flames from farther back, water and fire collide to produce steam. As if you had opened a giant dishwasher, humidity engulfs you. This steam feels hotter than the fiery room alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47\" class=\"wp-image-47 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-1-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_suiting_up-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_suiting_up-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_suiting_up-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sanjac.mycareerfocus.org\/fall-2021-volume-2-issue-3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2021\/09\/FFD_suiting_up.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Photo by Courtney Morris<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\">Facing reality<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Exiting the building, you think only of unsnapping, unbuckling, uncinching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">You shed piece after piece of equipment, scrape wet hair from your forehead, and flap your shirt to circulate air. And that smell? Like you\u2019ve been working a barbecue cookoff all day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Then it sinks in. You were wearing full firefighter gear next to a controlled indoor bonfire only 10 minutes. You were observing, not fighting. Standing on the sidelines, not rushing into the furnace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">Real firefighters suit up not just once but countless times to enter burning buildings, rescue trapped people, tame infernos. They are courageous, compassionate, and \u2014 yes \u2014 calm in the face of crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">You gulp.
