Charleston up from the ashes?

I pass on the attached article from Charleston and ask that you ask yourselves some vital questions.
1. Does it really take the loss of lives to move a department forward?
2. How many other departments still have not learned from the loss of lives in other departments?
3. Can the purchase of lots of good tools really compensate for those lives lost if there is a failure to change mind set in an organization from the top down and from the bottom up?
There are many other questions that this article should invoke.

I hope to see many of you at FDIC
Stay safe
Ron

Ron, I hear your message loud and clear. I started a FFN Seatbelt Pledge to try and help people think towards making progress in the Fire service and start perventing the preventable LODD's. Good Luck, there doesn't appear to be much support on the side of safety (look at the number of members and the number of signatures)
