The fire gets worse, firefighters are seemingly trapped inside a collapsing structure.  Lives are now on the line of the firefighters themselves and as help begins to arrive everything hangs in the balance.

A horrific fast moving fire is ripping through a row of townhomes with people trapped inside.  Chief Mills must manage this crisis with a team of all volunteer firefighters including a rookie who has never seen a live fire.  The race is on to put out the fire and stay alive themselves.

The discussion continues with officer Heath Layman and he details his recent experiences working with two different Maglite flashlights.  The Mag-Tac Rechargeable and Mag-Tac battery-operated both get his scrutiny and he explains why he likes them booth for different reasons.

As officer Layman explains in his second episode policing is sometimes the difference between night and day ... “chases, foot pursuits, vehicle pursuits, doing containment for other major crimes that have occurred and we're setting up and trying to catch bad guys and waiting for a K-9 to show up. Those are more of your night shift types of calls. Night shift is a ton of fun. Small-town policing, night shift is usually boredom, boredom, boredom, chaos, then hours of paperwork and back to boredom, or chaos stacked on top of chaos and we can't keep up. It's usually all or nothing.”

What’s it like policing where sometimes it’s the Elk that are the real problem?  Officer Heath Layman the proprietor of Willapa Firearms Training talks about his life as a rural lawman and his expertise in use of firearms and use of force training.
