Future Firefighters Feel the Burn

 I was driving through Fort Ord just after dawn on Saturday Mar. 3, 2012 when I happened upon a group running in formation while singing a cadence call. 25 years ago this group would have been a group of soldiers. On this morning they were cadets in the California Fire Academy at Monterey Bay, out jogging past some of the decaying former military buildings before a day of training.

While I was not on the clock yet for my day, I drove ahead of the group, grabbed my camera and shot a few frames, their song fading as they passed.
