My first fire (house fire) was in the mid 80's as a cadet. Yes cadet don't go to fires.
We were doing some training on a Sunday morning we had about 6 cadets and 5 seniors. The reason we went to the fire is that  we were just about driving past the job.
We were told stay on the truck and don't move. We came around the corner and could see a stack of black smoke ( I think all us as cadets had eyes popping out of our heads)I think we were told ok set up a hydrant and watch out for traffic. Then stay on the truck,but the job was a

Steam train that has stopped.

We also had a horse in a septic tank....but it couldn't get out by itself...ended up using old canvas hoses and a backhoe to get it out....

As for first fire - waaayyy too long ago to remember!

Interesting that a Larkin frame on a flat bed truck was used.
