Marc & Luke Vocational Visit

Luke and I spent 2 days at the Corpo de Bombeiros (Fire station), learning, exchanging ideas, and training. We were first introduced to the Commander: Fronzio Calheira (Chief of the state of E.S.) An honor to visit with the man who is in charge of the fire department of the entire state. He was very kind and even invited us to have lunch with his family(The food was amazing!). we were then guided by a Major (Training Chief) Riberio, he showed us several fire stations, training grounds, and recruit training academy. maj. Riberio invited us to train with the recruits in water rescue, we of course jumped on the opportunity! it was great training we were both the rescuers and the rescuees. The instructors were impressed on our rescue efforts, being that it was our first time. We were given a thank-you from a recruit (in english) in front of the entire recruit class. It was an honor our us to be their guest.
