One of my favorite photos for a long time now. Faith over fear, friends. But also be smart and wash your hands.

Great day to drill on fireground operations with the fellas from B-shift (guest appearances from C-shift Engine 1 + Ladder 255). Love that these guys love the job and train hard to constantly get better at it.
