CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR THE FIRE SERVICE

摘要

Crew resource management (CRM) is a force multiplier—that is to say, it acts to energize and synergize elements that already exist in the individual and multiplies them so that a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Originally employed in the aviation industry, the concepts of crew resource management can be applied to the fire service to achieve greater efficiency and safety.rnGenerally, CRM refers to the effective use of all available resources, people, equipment, time, and information. By effectively using these resources to their fullest potential, all of the talents of all of the people and equipment associated with a fire can be used more effectively and efficiently. More efficient use of resources enhances safety, suppression, and the crew's morale.
