The most revealing leadership question:

Would your crew choose you if they had a choice?

[Bill Carey @FFBehavior]

62

While the USFA has not yet announced the deaths in Mass. & Tenn., they have been added here. As of today the fire service is at the same record lowest total in 2019. The number of 'interior' LODDs is currently the second-lowest on record.

2 minutes & 17 seconds of gold from retired New Haven, CT, FD Battalion Chief Frank Ricci: Be willing to make yourself uncomfortable by seeking challenging assignments so you can grow. Show initiative & seek out a good senior man as a mentor. Own your mistakes & learn from them.

"A fireman to be successful, must enter buildings... his whole success depends on his getting in and remaining there, and he must always carry his appliances with him, as without them he is of no use."

@Kiel_Samsing Maybe leave comments on what has worked....

Conditions, size, weight??? Of victims

Include this in the the rescue survey?

I would love to see comparisons of rescues made to improve our overall effectiveness!

[Fairfax County Fire/Rescue @ffxfirerescue]

This evening #FCFRD responded to a utility emergency in the 3800 blk of S George Mason Dr. An explosion occurred while crews were working. Thankfully, our firefighter is okay. FCFRD FFs put their lives on the line everyday to protect the lives & property of @fairfaxcounty.

There is no "advanced" firefighting. What we think of as advanced skills are firefighters building on the basics or combing certain skills to fit any situation that arises. As firefighters gain experience and expertise they can apply the basics in new and innovative ways.

[Ross Baker @bakesrescue]

@Kiel_Samsing Yes

[Ross Baker @bakesrescue]

Speed also results from having a better orientation and being more aligned with what's going on around you. When you can process and understand things at a faster rate it appears that you are faster than those around you.

circumstances.

Another way to increase speed is through training and practice. Speed comes from proficiency and efficiency NOT from rushing. Training and experience reinforce these things by allowing you to eliminate extraneous activities or movements.

[AndyStarnesFire @KTFBurnsDC]

Do you look both ways before you cross the street?

Seems like a silly question?

Many firefighters fail to carry or use the TIC on scene size up.

A fellow firefighter sent this photo to us of an energized chain link fence captured through the eyes of the Bullard TIC.

May I please get 2 friends or family retweet? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.
