Other time.. We were getting our Structure Fire training up at an old CalFire camp up the road, and when it came time to get timed for donning our SCBA's, we had to go into an old warehouse to get the equipment.

I was partnered with this chick trainee, big strong girl, hotter than hell, and we gather all our equipment, and I grab a mask off the rack. I notice the spider webs immediately, but she grabs it and says "I go first"... Tough chick, like I said..

I look at her and say, "okay babe, but you might want to get the Black Widow out first!" I grabbed the mask out of her hands, peeled back the rubber nose piece and shoved the giant black widow right in her face. She turned white and almost passed out.
