So today I had a day off, I rode my bike around Fort Frances and International Falls, MN.
Fort Frances
The main street has everything you really need; grocery store, post office, bank, gas station, movie store, dollar store, Mr. Sub, Dominoes, a few clothing stores...
Then a little bit off the main street is the arena/ pool/ gym, the fire base... and then on the west side of town is Tim Horton's, Boston Pizza, Mc Donalds, Canadian tire, Mark's Work Warehouse, Walmart... all that stuff.
International Falls, MN
I rode my bike all around IF today, there's a main street with a bunch of little shops, a Kmart, grocery stores, a movie theatre!!!, dollar store... stuff like that.
I rode my bike over the border which was kind of cool, and cheaper than the drive because there is a toll booth that costs 8 bucks in your car.
A new girl came to the base today who was in our SP 100 course as well, she's from Hamilton. I think she's going to stay in our house too... that's 4 fire fighter girls now... should be fun!
I'm back to work tomorrow for my first full week of work with my crew, I think mostly we'll be doing pump set ups and perhaps some hover exit work with the helicopters. I will keep you updated with this week's activities!
Hope everyone is well at home. Miss you.
PS. Smokey says "Prevent Forest Fires"... I say, a few is alright because then I'll make overtime!
