As a FR you have to stick to the approved guidelines... even if further training gives you other options. In our area FRs are called out to arrests but also to conditions that may deteriorate into an...

    Rabbit , Rabbit, Rabbit

    tons of the little 'darlings' around us and the does were noticably pregnant much earlier this year. Lots of 'glove puppets' and 'finger puppets' about during the day. I think I'm going to run out of .22 ammo b4 long!

    Gundog training

    starting pistols etc don't normally appear until fairly late into training. Usually training the dog to retrieve isn't too hard, especially when the dog can see the dummy landing...... the hard bit is getting it to sit still until you send it, easier with lab than springers... sometimes I...

    Gundog training

    Honey Bee Help!

    if you call your local police station they have a list of local groups who will try and gather the swarm/colony (Bee Armed Response! :D ). In the mean time leave the door shut and keep out of the room and they shouldn't bother you. Its early for swarms but the weather has been unusually warm...
