Why is it that we use all of these different terms....
I have seen, and heard of different fire departments requesting personell for 2-in/ 2-out -- AND -- RIT/FAST Teams.
Before I get mis-quoted - let me tell you that I believe in the need for RIT/FAST teams- they are a fireground necessity for saving our own, however....
If you have a RIT team- then you are complying with OSHA's 2-in/2-out regulation.
So why do departments request personell for both - when they are one in the same?
