Gillette: Final Day of Competition

On the last day of the competition Todd's team had to be at the fire station place at four in the morning and they went into lock down where they had to stay till it was their turn to go on the final scenario. When it was their turn they would get on a bus and they bused them to the location for the final scenario. Luckily they were the second team out that day so they only had to be in lock down for about three hours. All the wives and the trainer followed the first bus out to the location so we were there before the team got there. And I got so nervous for Todd's team when I saw them pull in. The last scenario was pretty intense. There were two welders who were welding inside a water tank and there was an explosion. A supervisor saw the explosion and went speeding over to the site where he hit a fork lift and sent the driver of the fork lift flying through the air. So they had to assist to the driver of the fork lift the two workers inside the water tank and an attendant who was on top of the tank when the explosion happened. They had 35 minutes to get as much done as they could. As you can see by the pictures they make things as real as they can. The attendant that got thrown off the water tank had his eye hanging out and the driver of the fork lift had a broken femur and they made it look like her bone was sticking out. They of course had more injuries than these but these were the injuries that were very obvious. Todd's team did good and I am so grateful that I was able to go with him and support him.
