FIRE REHEARSALS ON WORKING WEEKEND:

15 AUGUST 2010
SUNDAY:
PRACTICE FIRE ALERTS:

Well here we go, I find this story a bit funny...

So it's the normal routine, welcoming on Friday, walking the horses and donkeys on Saturday morning. It's like a typical weekend. So it carries on like usual, we went to do fence checks after the horses and the donkeys.

Things that we look for when we do fence checks. Most people think we do this just to get away from the noise at the farmyard but it's not like that. We do fence check to close up to many warthog highways in one fence, a warthog highway is all the holes that goes trough from your farm to another. We check if all the wires are still in place (nothing has snapped), We check that the droppers and y-standards are still straight.

When we do fence checks we always have to carry the correct supplies:

• Binding wire
• Normal wire
• 2 Tongs and a
• Wire Puller

We also have to check the cruiser, this is so that we don't get stuck in the bush without any petrol. So tonight me And Monica worked bring and braai. We just assist the guests if they have any problems, we braai their meat and we help clear the tables... Nothing much more to say, lets move on to Sunday During lunch.

As we all know, Sunday is when all the people go back home, so their is nothing to do...... So our managers think it is very funny to pull pranks on us...

Everybody was relaxing, seeing that it is lunch off course. Everybody tired of the long weekend. And there it goes!!!! whooooweeee whoooweeee (this being the fire alarm), evrybody get the biggest fright of their lives not knowing what to do.. This was a real panic attack for everybody. Evcerybody freaks out, after about 2minutes all of us starts running to the "Pakstoor" as we were told, when we did our Training.

We had to pack everything that was needed out as quick as possible, get dressed, get your necessary equipment and get on the vehicles. How fun was that... The adrenalin was pumping through everybody's veins. We were racing to our destination, worry in everybody's eyes. How is this going to end, what will go wrong...

Is everybody in place???
GOOD. Ready , GO!!!
And there our unplanned fir rehearsal started...
