Fire Protection: Firefighter safety: June 18, 2007

摘要

Just one final comment regarding the Super Store investigation report. The authors of the report, J. Gordon Routley, Michael D. Chiaramonte, Brian A. Crawford, Peter A. Piringer, Kevin M. Roche and Timothy E. Sendelbach, have done a fine job with their report and deserve a standing ovation. The report is clear and concise and the writing is excellent. One of the questions that remains is whether the observations and recommendations contained in the report will be implemented, not only by the City of Charleston Fire Department, but, even more importantly, by the rest of the fire service. Firefighters or civilians (as was the case at the Cook County Administration Building) shouldn't have to die in order for the fire service to begin to realize that there is more to fire fighting than simply putting the "wet stuff on the hot stuff."
