Cal Fire and the Red Bluff Fire Department prove to be taking an interest in providing for the students. They bring in their fire apparatus and have students flow water, throw ladders, role hoses, learn hose lies and teach real life applications for it. The class is organized to simulate a fire line crew, with a commander, officers, and subordinates. With this, students become accustomed to communicating effectively with supervisors and working as a unit. In rank, under the instructor is the class commander. The commander oversees the entire class which is divided into two groups. Each group has its own class officer, and all orders are passed down that chain.

By doing this, we are abusing our bodies with these drinks just to feel awake for a few hours. On just about every corner of every street you will find a place that will sell a variety of energy drinks therefore they aren���t very hard to find which is one reason why we all take advantage of these drinks. Studies show that these caffeine filled drinks are worse than we really think. The Top 3 energy drinks sold in 2012 are Red Bull with $2.95 billion, Monster with $2.6 billion, and Rockstar with $780 million. Yes, these products promise us many things, but there���s so much that we don���t know. For instance, some doctors would say that energy drinks can be worse than alcohol due to the addiction of the caffeine and the other ingredients (creatine, b-vitamins, taurine, sucrose, etc.). The number of emergencyroom visits due to energy drinks has doubled in four years being 10,000 in 2007 to 20,000 in 2011. Another way many people are using energy drinks is to help their athletic performance and even weight loss because they have less sugar than sodas and coffees do. Yet after you get that rush of energy, you most likely will crash. There are many side effects that come along after your rush such as, stomach aches, headaches, dehydration, and if you overdose you can receive heart damage which can contribute into injury or death. So although Red Bulls may ���give you wings���, is theoretically getting wings really worth it? Maybe it is during those few hours you have that energy but after having one every day your body is so used to that caffeine that it doesn���t even receive that energy.
