I want to post some of the photos I took while I was up on the aerial ladder. I have to say again that being up 80 feet int he air was very exciting! It was a great place to watch everything that was going on. But of course the real thrill was having the opportunity to learn to run the aerial adder. I was terrified I would do something wrong. But the Chief was very patient with me. And I am rally looking forward to doing it again. So here they are!

Congratulations! It is a wonderful feeling to be taken up in a bucket truck. I am a volunteer fireman for a dept that has a 90 foot ladder truck.
