Marques Bush
Firefighter Basics launched in February 2009 after Founder/Editor Marques Bush was looking for a way to express himself and share his experiences with brother and sister firefighters. Shortly after founding the site Marques spoke with several trusted friends and ask them to come on board and contribute also. Firefighter Basics is a dedicated group of firefighters who strive everyday to practice what they preach about Training, Safety, and Tradition.

In defense of the Senior man
Very well written and very factual with good advice. I learned so much from senior men all the years I was an active member. I even learned from those experienced who were reluctant to share until they thought I was worthy. It was worth my effort to gain their trust!!!. I always felt this way,…

Keep The Saws Running by Tai Rondeau
Good informative article, just a few quick things. If you are cleaning the saw (chain or radial) to that point, go ahead and pull the clutch and thoroughly clean with the brake cleaner. The vapors tend to cause debris to build up in the clutch. In the same way the fins around the cylinder hold…

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?
