CITIZENS' FIRE ACADEMY -- Reggie Kinsey, 24, an EMT at Station 7, and Greg Fenn, 32, a driver/operator at Station 1, assist Mary Ann Dematas, 30, with a 1 1/4 inch (diameter) fire hose, spraying 170 gallons of water per minute, Saturday at Station 3, near Waldo Road and 8th Avenue. Dematas, who works in the Lawn and Gardening Department at Home Depot, tried to compare the water pressure to a difficult task, but carrying 30-pound bags of soil doesn't illustrate the constant force her body stood against.
