The Post-War Fireman
MAJOR changes we may expect in post-war firemen will be those in skill and in knowledge required to cope with newly developed hazards incidental to new products of industry, new processes and war-created maladjustments. In the latter category would be included dc-populated defense housing developments, idle plants and neighboring commercial establishments facing disaster from loss of trade.
Each newly created hazard will require on the part of the fireman an increased knowledge covering the methods of handling the hazard. Each new product presenting a fire hazard must be known by the fireman, as well as the methods to be employed in fighting fire involving it. Each new hazardous industrial process must be understood, so that means of protecting life and property may be determined.
