Eight Ways Fire Officers Must Communicate

摘要

ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS A ROOKIE firefighter assigned to an engine company, we returned to the station from a medical call just after 4 a.m. As we got off the truck, the captain turned to me and said, "Bulanow, do you want to write this report?" I was tired and the only thing I wanted to do was get back in my bunk, but I was blessed with a thought. I said, "Cap, I will if you teach me." My captain was probably just as tired as I was, but to his everlasting credit, he said, "Okay, put on a pot of coffee." This was in the mid-1990s when we still completed incident reports on paper forms. Over the next several hours, my captain taught me how to complete reports for various types of incidents as we drank coffee and the sun came up.
