      So they can get out of a room that's about to kill them.

    Firefighter Safety doesn't start After you have gotten in trouble; it starts Before you do! You shouldn't be training about what to do when you get into trouble, you should be training at not getting into trouble.
    Now here's a look at common sense, logic and reality. Why would you need to bail out of a window? Because the fire is getting too big and hot, or you ran out of air. The only reason the fire is getting bigger is because you didn't go inside prepared to make it smaller. If you went in to do the Hero Thing to perform Search and Rescue of any victims and you didn't bring a hose in to eliminate the threat and protect them, then you didn't do your job. They are in their night cloths while you are completely geared up.
    The JOB of a firefighter is to "Eliminate the threat quickly and safely while using the least amount of water." You follow that motto to Protect yourself, your fellow firefighters, the victims and the property. In that order. What good is a dead firefighter to anyone?

      @dz528 Před 2 lety +8

      I get your point, but at the same time you need to be prepared because mistakes do happen. For example, you could be inside on the hoseline and you lose water. That could be no fought of your own, it could be lack of good water supply in a rural area, pump failure, or damage to the hose or nozzle etc. There is no such thing as perfect when it comes to fighting house fires, there's always something that could have been done better on every call. There are so many variables that something can and will go wrong at some point no matter how much you train. At the time that something does go horribly wrong you are trained how to deal with it instead of becoming another number on the LODD list.

      @@dz528 There is not enough of the correct training to do this job the correct way. Too many unnecessarily dangerous tactics that require too many Mayday tactics to save firefighter lives. UL and ISFSI know what to do and 95% of USA departments ignore them.

      You can train people for both, it isn't just choosing one over the other
