I took advantage of this opportunity for two reasons: (1) I'm a genuine loving human being who likes to help people; and (2) I'm planning on becoming a pro- fessor and I take every opportunity I can get to speak in front of a class. Before I spoke Johnson reminded the class of things she taught them concerning "critical thinking." Critical thinking has become CATCH OF 7714- DAV° an academic buzzword.

Left: Maintenance of the equipment is a high pri- ority for the crew. Even bad weather must be tol- erated. Hoses must be tested once a year. To do this the firefighters put 200 pounds of pressure through the hoses for five minutes to check for leaks. Testing of the hoses is done on the street. The hoses have to be held down during the testing so they don't get out of control.
Below: Another aspect of the vehicle extraction demonstration is how to cut out a windshield to get to the victims. The firefighters also showed how to remove the roof of the car, the side and rear windows and to use a tool called a ram to move the steering col- umn away from a person in the driver's seat.

ost people know what firefighters do when they are responding to a call, but not many know what happens M while they are at the station. After spending a day and a half with the Winona Fire Department, it is apparent they do more than sit around waiting for calls. All the full-time firefighters must earn and maintain Emergency Medical Technician certification. They also train in a variety of areas, including high rise rescue, cold water rescue and hazardous waste containment. In addition to training, the firefighters have to maintain the equipment and station house, as well as participate in public serv- ice activities. The firefighters put on a pre-prom auto extraction demonstration at the local high schools. They also present a simi- lar demonstration to EMT classes, in which students learn how to use the necessary tools. The training is for one purpose: To be able to save people when the time comes. When a call does come in, the crew is on the truck and out of the station within minutes.
Left: Once the equip- ment has passed the testing it has to be repacked and set back on the trucks. Along with the equip- ment, the firefighters do the majority of the work on the trucks. Also, most of the building maintenance is done by the fire- fighters, unless there is a major problem.
Right: Most impor- tantly, they are fire- fighters and first responders. When a call comes in they need to be on the trucks on the way to the scene within minutes.
The firefighters demonstrate vehicle extractions for EMT classes. This provides the students a chance to use the tools involved, such as the separator being,used to pry the door of a car open.
