Sorry for not posting anything yesterday.  As I mentioned, I spent the day on the fire ground doing live fire training.  I have to admit, it was fucking awesome.  Waking up at 6:30am on a Saturday did suck a little bit, but it turned out to be worth it.  It is amazing how quickly heat can build up in one of these fires.  Even though we are very well protected in our gear you can still feel the heat.  I definitely couldn’t snap any pics of what was going on as we were busy doing stuff all the time and I would have been kicked outta there if I pulled out a camera and started taking shots.  Then in the evening I went to dinner and drinks with the women.  We ended up spending Earth Hour at a bar in the west end of Toronto.  It was pretty cool with all the lights dimmed.  Even driving down the road you could see just how dark the city was.  I didn’t take this pic but it shows the two sides of Toronto.  One is how we normally do things and the other is during Earth Hour.  I think that we should probably try to get something like this going more often!
