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…

Review of 4 fire boots
If in need of a durable and well fit boot you could use all day and not hurt at the end. Try the 5555 Honeywell Nighthawk. You will like.

Good read! Make our time on the fire ground as efficient/effective as possible. Instead of trying to look good for the camera.

Rest In Peace Lt. Richard Hamilton – FDNY (RET)
I read the book several times. Outstanding. So many inspiring parts and lessons. Often used it in tactics class to bring life to a subject. He was one of the great generation. Thank you Loo. Jim Davis, Winter Haven. Retired 42 years.

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?
