Truck Company Operations: Maximizing Firefighter Safety

摘要

A truck company could be perceived as an efficient fireground logistical company but most fireground problems or actions that are prime contributors to fireground inefficiency, injury, or death are commonly the result of fireground personnel's violations of basic safety principles. Mittendorf discusses basic rules of fireground safety, importance of reading the environment and fireground clock, and concerns when ensuring the viability of an escape route. A recommended method for prioritizing fireground considerations from a truck company perspective is also presented.
