Courage to Be Safe/ Everyone Goes Home: A Look Inside the Program

摘要

In 1993, some chiefs got together as a focus group at the International Association of Fire Chiefs Fire Rescue International to discuss line-of-duty death prevention. The chiefs, like others, had been discussing this for years, but it was difficult to get organizations--labor and management, career and volunteer--on the same page.

Kanterman offers a closer look at the program and discusses the three concepts that emerged from it.
