The Public is always watching and always critical
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. We can be reached at firefighterbasics@gmail.com

We tossed it out there over here, http://backstepfirefighter.com/2010/11/08/see-the-difference/. Most of the interpretation after that was that the companies shown made big mistakes, however that’s coming from anonymous, and we all know how good a firefighter he is. Could they have done better? Sure, we call can. I believe the biggest thing in the video is that they recognized the delay and didn’t advance past the “point of no return”, as Vincent Dunn calls it.
It still, all comments aside, brings up very good points to consider when our initial attack is delayed: How are we communicating this problem? Do we need to hold up on our ventilation? Will the delay/problem require a change of assignments for the other responding companies? Do we show up ready to fall back onto plan B or C or D, quickly, when we can’t fix the problem.
A lot to consider before the fire.
