THE FIREFIGHTING WORLD has changed significantly from the past. Modernity has transformed building construction, staffing levels, firefighting equipment, apparatus, and the strategies and tactics we implement on the fireground. What has not changed is the consistent enemy we face, fire. No matter where you work or volunteer, what your staffing is, how old or new your apparatus is, or how high fidelity or nonexistent your training is, the fire always gets a vote.
