@lexshady516 Good luck reinforces bad/improper decisions on the fire ground

I don’t teach strategy and tactics because I’m not at your fire. I teach basics because that’s what gets the damn job done. Sick of people peddling a magic fix all. Be a student of the game and give a shit. It’s easy.

It's a sad state of affairs when the bodies of our fallen Brothers are not even buried and people are already second guessing what transpired. Give it a break.....

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@cltobinstlfd @emaurouard @SunCoastChief As with most things now in the American Fire Service, a "one tactic fits all fires" mindset is what's being pushed. Experience, a dirty word now a days, has taught us this isn't true. Fire has a way of driving that point home. Learn, train, give yourself and your crew options

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@cltobinstlfd @SunCoastChief @emaurouard Either offensive or defensive.

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@cltobinstlfd @SunCoastChief @emaurouard Really just more nonsense....if you start "defensive" as part of a transitional attack and it doesn't work what kind of attack does it become?

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@cltobinstlfd @SunCoastChief @emaurouard So same as hitting it defensive and it works! So you transition your position and attack mode to offensive

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@SunCoastChief @cltobinstlfd @emaurouard So isn't that transitional too? From offensive to defensive

#Chicago logged its 400th homicide yesterday, 4 days sooner than last year. 2015 hit 400 on Sept 29th and 2014 waited until Nov 10th.

@Elb3001 Just another sad fact about the American Fire Service

[Bob Pressler @bobpress3]

@LouComenale @RothmeierJeff Don Abbott, from Abbottville fame, did a comprehensive study on Maydays. That stat, and many other eye opening ones, are from his study

[Kevin Cowperthwait @waitcowper]

At 0330 today Engine 12,Ladder 12, Squad 6, Deputy Chief 6 arrived in minutes at a basement fire in a townhouse. One removed unconscious.

[Stockton Fire @stocktonfire]

@bfdboss @bobpress3 Thanks for the excellent VES/RIC class in live fire conditions- our guys really enjoyed it.

Now how about the same fire through the door? Always nice when it's vented. And maybe a victim behind the door? https://t.co/FXR9JoM2De

[Ray McCormack @LtRayMack]

Take a look at this video and what it takes to put out this fire from the outside.

Sad that this is what we, as a Fire Service, have begun to accept as the norm https://t.co/QZBKWbEmOK

@cltobinstlfd Just make sure you get a good vent hole in first or your trench will act like one!
