1: Catherine's day at the Firehall included a trip on the hundred-foot-high aerial ladder, with a turn at the controls to see what it's like fighting fires from on high. 2: Catherine with Deputy Chief John McDougall, left, and Acting Captain David Dempster. 3: When she got to the Firehall, the first thing Catherine saw was a red barber chair. Many of the men had shaved their heads to lend moral support to a colleague with cancer, and to raise money to help fight the disease. There is tremendous rapport among firefighters who depend on each other's expertise in the dangerous fire environment. 4: Catherine in full fire-fighting gear with members of the crew of Station 6. 5: She eventually mastered the art of sliding down the fire pole. Actually, these are becoming obsolete. Most modern fire halls are built on one floor for speed and crew efficiency. 6: "What's she talking about up there? It is easy. And you humans think you're so evolved!"
