00:18.759 --> 00:21.128
^- [American Firefighter]Here in the fire station we've got

00:21.128 --> 00:23.961
^Selfridge Air National Guard here,

00:23.984 --> 00:26.499
^we have Peoria National Guard here,

00:26.499 --> 00:28.666
^we have the Grayling Army,

00:30.008 --> 00:32.736
^and we have the Latvian firefighers as well,

00:32.736 --> 00:34.236
^from Liellevarthe.

00:34.391 --> 00:38.308
^We're doing joint exercises, strength training,

00:38.403 --> 00:41.712
^we're doing all our standbys are mixed crews,

00:41.712 --> 00:44.696
^so you'll have a Latvian with a US Army,

00:44.696 --> 00:47.736
^you'll have a US Army with a Airforce,

00:47.736 --> 00:48.569
^and so on.

00:54.865 --> 00:56.827
^Today we're doing some repelling and

00:56.827 --> 01:00.333
^high-angle rescue type stuff, and in that training,

01:00.333 --> 01:01.808
^the Latvians came back and were showing us

01:01.808 --> 01:03.758
^a couple of different knots and how to do

01:03.758 --> 01:06.011
^some rescues that we hadn't seen before.

01:06.011 --> 01:07.717
^So that just adds to our toolbox.

01:07.717 --> 01:09.029
^The more that we can train with each other,

01:09.029 --> 01:11.026
^the more that we can learn from each other,

01:11.026 --> 01:14.443
^just the better firefighters that we are.
