Indecision kills and has no place in the matrix of fireground command.
Is 'close the door' part of your fire safety message to the public?
"Although they may be able to successfully extinguish flames during an emergency situation, firefighters are often left with more than physical burns and injuries as a result of their duties. They also struggle with stress and inner turmoil that can linger long after their shift is over and that often overlaps into their personal relationships."

How do we push ourselves to go beyond the minimum?
"The cup of coffee can, and should, wait."
"We have to be proficient and masterful at the basics of our job. There is no point in talking about selecting and placing hoselines if we cannot be masterful at deploying them in the first place."
