    More than just the physical (that part was easy... well it was then I'm a bit busted up now)
    They did have a "refresher" crash course that was a few days then have to repass the exams/drills. I would have to redo the whole EMT course though

    Rain over recently burned hills leads to mudslides, which will only make things worse at this point.

    I read the other day that it's now 100% contained, 85 now confirmed dead, the missing count has declined fairly steeply.

    Well, there you have it. PG&E caused the Camp Fire. Antiquated shitty power lines. The lawsuits will probably bankrupt them. The link I had kept freezing, but yeah, it was them.
