Coming to Terms with 1403 V

摘要

Many in the fire service are of the opinion that NFPA 1403: Standard on Live Fire Training Evolutions (2012 ed.) and all the previous editions of this important training standard are and were failure-driven documents. The history of failures and omissions in conducting safe and effective live-fire training are numerous and evident probably throughout the history of the fire service. In addition, many instructors and students alike now consider the acquired-structure type of live-fire training not worth the time or effort, and not worth dealing with the number of paperwork "walls" put in place by the myriad regulatory and permit-driven agencies we deal with on a regular basis when putting together a live-fire training plan.
