3rd-day-The Hell Finale
One unlucky accident happen to me on monday night.I fell down when i am running to the Swimming pool office to borrow air pump for basketball.My right knee is wounded and is bleeding non-stop.i went to borrow first aid kit from Physical training instructor from the swimming poool office and DIY my wound.My friends said it will be very tough day for me tomorow becoz much crawling and squating will be done in the maze..But whatever it is, since i have made this far to the last day, i gonna endure.
Tuesday morning is our theory test of fire fighting course.Nobody fail the exam becoz (1)we can copy from one another,but cannot leave the seat.(2)The sergeants(aka instructors) gave us about 20% of the certain Qn's answers on the white board.(3)if we raise our hands and ask,we will get what we want~hehehe.Well even so, i get 92 ;only one get 100.
After the test, we proceed to our second pratical test.The MAZE.2 person per group & never leave your partner behind.The conseutive groups were going in is about 2 mins interval. No trainees ever know how the maze exactly looks like.Becoz there is very little light and lots of smoke there.Hence we have to feel all the way through,depending little on eye sight.With not much light,we have to crawl most of the time as most of the path will be small tunnels.There's one difficult part is where we have to pass through a horizontal 3m water pipe with diameter about 60cm.Even skinny people will find it difficult to pass through, not to say those big plump ones.Dun forget our back supports the weight of the cylinder .Hence we need good partnership and coordination.First,the person have to stretch his arms out first into the pipe b4 entering ,then his body's turn to got in(like superman when fly posture)You can hardly move your limbs becoz everything is so compact.The second person will have push the first person,and 1st guy also have to shuffle himself out of the pipe .when first person came out of the pipe,the second person will go in and he will have also have to move himself to the front with all his might and stretch his hand out to grab the hand of the 1st guy.
So far there were many obstacles and i have onli list one.What i have said may seems simple.But try to walk around to find your way out in the dark with full battle order and breathing ovygen from gasmask.You will be in fear and panick of which way to go,also have to make sure your buddy is to be with u at all times becoz itsrather easy to lose each other in the dark.We have to be fast becoz oxygen that we carry is onli sufficient for about 40 mins. But for trainee like us who can't control normal slow breathing, we might finish it within 30 mins.But so far all never used up.I have to say once more, the expierience is undiscribleable....
Alas we saw light when we are climbing up the ladder to the rooftop.We are delighted and relieved becoz we know light =exit.Once we get out of the maze, i just ly down flat..like the others.i am Dead exhausted till the extend i can't
t even walk properly.i recover after 30 mins with the others...(Recover-Can walk but can't run )From that day onwards, i respect the fireman becoz they have undergone this kind of training which they consider it as the basic.Their training is much more tougher than we have all gone through.We are doing these for onli 2 days.... but they are doing these almost daily
Anyway at 3 pm, those who pass received the Fire-fighting basic course CERT.Each of us are very proud to have this cert becoz we use our every bit of blood , sweat and determination to earn it.I gonna frame it up.
I almost forget to list something out.Our class consist of 20 people,4 are ladies.They actually gone through the Fire fighting course with us and never back off.The Civil defense sergeants mentioned that no female ever fail the course b4.Although they are a bit slower,I still surprise on how they can make this far with us.I shouldn't underestimate them now...
