Welcome to Priority Firefighting! This will be my first ever Blog of any sort and I have high hopes for it and what will come of it. To start off, this is a page managed by a Firefighter for Firefighters. My goal is to bring to light my opinions, studies, and experiences regarding all aspects of the Fire service. I view the Fire service as more than a job; it is a lifestyle, career, art-form, calling, and a craft rolled into one. I loathe complacency and see the future of Firefighting heading down some roads with quite questionable tactics. At Priority Firefighting we will aim to better ourselves and others at the craft of Firefighting we are a part of, engaging in positive discussion we will give and take opinions from other brothers to make ourselves better at our job. My posts will be designed to get you thinking and outside the box. I look forward to learning more from others through this process than I do anything else.
I refer to my Blog as "Priority Firefighting" for a reason. I feel that too many of us have gotten away from the three Firefighting priorities:
1. Life Safety
2. Incident Stabilization
3. Property Conservation
Priority Firefighting will focus on these three critical steps when discussing tactics and procedures. Our own safety is paramount and reducing the number of LODDs is up to us. I am not here to re-invent the wheel, just with others help, make it a little rounder and smoother.
I look forward to the discussion this blog will incite and hope someone sees my passion for the Fire service in the words I write.
