Fire & Rescue Bootcamp, Tuesday, period 1
"We train like we fight, and we fight like we train!"
Unlike the last couple weeks, the bootcamp was meeting outside today, by the gates to the school. While Travis had (finally) learned what the Danger Shop could actually do last week, the island itself worked perfectly well for today's class.
Travis stood at the front of the group, wearing the workout version of his station uniform -- a t-shirt with the station's shield on the breast, and a pair of sweatpants. The students, hopefully, had figured out to wear things they could move and sweat in when coming to class.
"That's something of an unofficial firefighter's motto. Fighting fires is hard work. It's physical work. You've learned that already, by running in your turnouts and working with hoses. Our equipment is heavy, and we have to be ready to move quickly with it at a moment's notice. We can't guarantee access to anything but what we bring ourselves on a job, and we have to be ready and willing to do anything in an emergency in order to save lives."
He looked from student to student, then nodded behind them.
"Which really really regularly means being able to run up and down stairs. Fortunately, if there's one thing that Fandom has in spades, it's stairs."
He clapped his hands together and pressed them outwards, stretching his palms and cracking his knuckles.
"Your assignment today is an easy one! I'm not going to make you carry anything you don't already have on you. All you have to do is run the entire town as fast as you can. I've mapped out a route that should have you hitting every single stair out there." He grinned. "Have fun!"

Re: RUN THE TOWN!
Yet now... now during this one run in particular, he (handwavely) ran into no fewer than four people who decided NOW was the best time to meet the new guy and try to talk?
Dwight sighed as finished the last flight of stairs dead last. Damn his luck.
