Going to the Next Level of a Safety Culture

摘要

The Burning Question Over the past few years has been "How can we achieve greater fireground safety?" There's nothing more essential to protecting the lives of the citizens we swore to protect that is more important on the fireground than firefighter safety. One can argue-and rightfully so-that the two goals are inextricably intertwined and that the only way we can rescue threatened civilians is by maintaining firefighter safety. I could not agree more. Many of us assumed that by adapting the successful strategies from aviation and other high-risk professions we would improve fireground safety. Although they have been very helpful, the solution is not that simple.
