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.

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.
