The Washington Post published an opinion piece from a professor of law and economics who writes: "...So 'fire' department has become a misnomer. In practice, these agencies have become emergency medical responders. The problem with that? Most communities already have ambulance services, whose staffs are less expensive and more highly trained in medical aid."
Fewer fires, so why are there far more firefighters?
The era of major building infernos is over. Let’s extinguish paid fire departments.

  • Mark Gandzyk We've been saying for years that Firefighting "Essentials" classes (FF1) and First Responder / EMT classes should be offered as an elective class in high schools, just like band, shop, student clubs, etc... And CPR / first aid should be taught as part of health class. If they can teach "sex ed", why not CPR?

Firehouse Editor-in-Chief Tim Sendelbach reflects on the Esperanza Fire, explaining why it’s clear that wildland and structural firefighters have a lot to learn from each other.
Walking on Hallowed Ground | Firehouse
"As I looked at the markers for these five men, the complexity of wildland firefighting and WUI fires became incredibly clear and, to some degree, even frightening."
