We have in recent columns turned into a prep school for young firefighters who are attempting to learn lessons that will help them better understand operating and surviving on and off the fireground. Hopefully, some of what we discuss will increase their level of understanding of the conditions they encounter out in the real world.
Developing and maintaining an effective level of understanding are challenges for all of us regardless of our age or amount of experience. This is particularly critical now, simply because current conditions are changing so quickly that if we ever stop learning about the world around us, those changes will outperform our ability to deal with them; and, sadly, getting behind in our hazard zone survival school work can also kill us.
