I also did the fireman school (Sept '17) and agree with everything you said. It takes an insane amount of practice to get everything working just right. I definitely got my rear end handed to me on the hill with keeping enough pressure. 488 was our engine for the whole time and Carlos got a good laugh at me for letting go of the shovel at the wrong time.
