Risk Analysis

These incidents depicted above are about 20 + years apart. What made these firefighters get into this position?

Sure we will never know, but just think about it in your own minds.

I always hear about how our new gear allows us to penetrate farther into the building. What about a rubber coat and tin helmet in the left hand picture?

Do you think it is really our protective envelope?

Teach your new and even experienced firefighters good sound safety practices and hopefully we can avoid these emergency conditions.
