In defense of the Senior man
"Education without experience is only theory" - great point, Shawn. We need to listen to the men (and women) who've been there when things got tough.

In defense of the Senior man
This was wonderful. Thank you Shawn. I am pretty lucky to have a great senior man, and I use a lot of these tricks. Just Simply showing him the respect he’s earned over 25 years. He doesn’t have to jump Into the training, just be around and give perspective. It’s great to have a senior…

Laying A Supply Line
Succinct and clear: objectives and parameters. "Keep It Simple, Specialist!" applies especially to combat, and no combat is more vital than on the fire scene. Fire cannot be bluffed, intimidated, or distracted. It can only be outmaneuvered and knocked down, and speed with decisiveness, not haste and mistakes, nor hesitation and muddling, is key to…

Heavy fire on arrival from the rear of the structure. Lets keep in mind that this is an older smaller house. Aggressive but safe interior. Dark gray and brown smoke. Looks as if there was some auto iginition of the smoke from the “A” side attic area. If you watch the timer at the bottom of the screen, one minute from when the went through the front door (not the foyer) to when you had a definite change in smoke conditions. The roof line appears to be intact and not sagging towards the middle to front of the house. It appears that a line was working on the “D” side near the “C/D” corner.
I don’t know what the communication was between the crew that entered from the “A” side was with the crew on the “C/D” corner. That is a long house. You could have the potential of pushing the fire/heat or steam on to either crew.
What does everyone else think?
