The hallmark of a good fire department is an aggressive and thorough search. Most departments mention somewhere in their mission statements the tenet to save life and property. In reality, saving a life is really what firefighters are here for. The public likes all the neat stuff we do, but when push comes to shove, they want us around to save them and their loved ones from doom. Although they may not consciously think about it, people in our communities go to sleep at night with the comfort of knowing that some unknown man or woman will come to their home and rescue them in the night from the horror of burning to death. This is an awesome responsibility for all firefighters, so don't mess it up! The following are some thoughts on search. They may be able to help you out at some time.
