Once he found what he was supposed to do- he was in the top of his class and got into the SLC Fire on his first attempt (which is really hard to do). All the while he worked full time at the hospital as a CNA, worked part time with a home health company, AND worked full time in IDAHO with our grandparents. Nobody can say that Johnathon is not a hard worker or bound and determined to take care of his family- no matter how hard and tiring it has been.
Needless to say- at his ceremony I got a little teary eyed and was just feeling sooo proud of him and his accomplishment. I can't believe my brother is a fire fighter. How cool is that?! :)
After the ceremony- the academy invited us to go to their training center for snacks and a tour. During the tour the had us go in different rooms where they started fires and showed us the rooms the fire fighters trained in.
It was a very fun and unique tour! The kids learned how to drop to the ground and crawl under the smoke- and were right up close by the fire. We saw how fast things light up in a room.
The kids feeling the heat of the fire.
