We should lobby on a serious and continuing basis to add at least those two bullets to the list.<br /><br />1) Ensure that enough qualified resources are present to establish an Incident Safety Officer at every working structural fire incident, especially when offensive fire attack is takingn place.<br /><br />2) Ensure that enough qualified resources are present to maintain a 360-degree view of the incident in order to observe conditions or changes that are not visible from the Command Post.<br /><br />Those two things were big contributors to several high-profile LODDs, including the Charleston 9, and they're well worth adding to he Rules of Engagement.rescuefirefighterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01395816249828616480noreply@blogger.com
