I've decided to keep a journal of my time as a firefighter pony, so that I can someday look back at this notebook of mine and remember all the good I've done. Sure I might not be as talented or gifted as a unicorn, or be able to fly like a pegasus, or even be one of those ponies apart of the "Elements of Harmony." But I definitely showed the instructors at the Fire Academy back in Canterlot what an Earth Pony was made of! I was able to pass through the physical portions of my trainings with ease, from hose handling to confined spaces. Granted I wasn't a book smart pony knowing all about that fancy "fire chemistry" but I got by barely passing those classes. But hey all I had to know was, water or smothering foam goes on class A fires or "Ordinary Combustibles", use dry powder for class D or "Combustible Metals" use dry chemicals, for classes B & C, which were " Flammable Gases/Liquids and Electrical Fires" use either gas called Carbon Dioxide, or something like it, and/or this new dry chem they were testing out. I can't seem to remember its name, because I mostly remember it being a random assortment of numbers and letters. But most importantly above all, I had to remember, be calm in any situation, follow orders and above all else. Don't be stupid!
I just wondered where and what station I'd be deployed to now that I was going to be fresh out of the Academy. Hopefully I'd be able get to be sent to Manehatten to serve under most well known Firefighter Ponies in Equestria! Considering they were some of the best trained and worked in a big city and fought against big raging structure fires all the time, and they almost always saved any pony who was in danger, no matter what! Pony... would that be something, myself with Equestria's finest!
