So my career department Chief is proposing that the first due company on a structure fire: 1. Take Command 2. Pull a hose line to the door and wait for the second due to take it in 3. And become RI Team in the yard when the hose line goes in in the second due's hands.
Until now, we have been a very aggressive interior attack department, so this is major shock. Our Chief says that a neigboring department does it and they have not lost any firefighters in the line of duty. We think they are pu$$!&$ because everything they have burns to the ground.
We have not had a LODD since the 60's and that was from an accident involving two firetrucks going to a call. You have to look well before that to find a LODD in a structure, and we see a lot of fire.
Is this something that is becoming commonplace or do we have the right to be upset?
