“If you don’t fully understand how a building truly performs or reacts under fire conditions and the variables that can influence its stability and degradation, movement of fire and products of combustion and the resource requirements for smart aggressive fire suppression in terms of staffing, apparatus and required fire flows, then you will be functioning and operating in a reactionary manner that is no longer acceptable within many of our modern building types, occupancies and structures.” Chris Naum

"Some of the best firemen I know are computer illiterate. They type with one finger, one letter at a time. They don’t know how to make a pretty blog or Instagram photo - but they know how to fight fire. Sadly, their voices are often lost in the shuffle to someone who has more technical skills than firefighting skills." Nick Martin, Traditions Training, LLC
