SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

培训μst be the backbone of any fire department (and firefighter for that matter). Whether we like it or not, there is a direct relationship between how good we are at putting out fires and what we do on the fire training ground. I realize experience plays into how well we perform, but you can tell those departments that put great emphasis on training from those that do not.

Fire departments have a legal and moral obligation to provide their members with training that mirrors conditions their members might face, and fire officers and crew members have a legal and moral obligation to act within the scope of their training.

However, not every eventuality can be addressed. There may be times when officers and crew members are confronted with a situation for which no advance training or preparation could have been anticipated. Should an untrained firefighter don a Level A haz-mat entry suit to mitigate a nitric acid spill or a SCUBA dry suit to effect an underwater search? In such situations, the answer is obvious. However, firefighters on occasion are put in situations where a fine line exists between saving lives and working within their scope of training. Many departments operate under the provision of a risk policy. Does that policy apply only to fires? Can (and should) it be applied elsewhere?
