Thinking About the Unthinkable

摘要

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY: THESE are words no one ever wants to hear-words that could change your life, your career, and your department forever. It could happen at a residential structure fire, a commercial building fire, a motor vehicle crash, a wildland/brush fire, an emergency medical services run, a public service call-at just about every emergency to which we respond. Although the trend is going progressively downward, firefighters are killed in each of these incident types every year. As a company officer or chief, you must consider what would happen if this unthinkable tragedy were to strike one of the members under your command.
