Based on what I read, the answer to protecting firefighter is a combination of policy, procedure implementation, and training. These are important not only to prevent death, but also to prevent any types of injuries. The Jersey City Fire Department (JCFD) trains its members on the Incident Command System and there are procedures for the members to use it (New Jersey Division of Fire Safety, 1993, p. 5). Additionally, they are trained to use the Jersey City Incident Command System (JCICS), based on the National Fire Academy’s system. Better yet, the members of the JCFD use the JCICS on all incidents. The JCICS would help to avoid miscommunication among the emergency personnel. The JCFD also provide firefighters with ladder training daily. The

The situation that is happening with the Bay City Fire Department is very disturbing because they are supposed to be one of the few pillars in the community for people to trust to get their job done, and I believe they have a very important role to fulfill but they are slacking majorly. A few speculations on why they are violating standard operational procedures because that is how the older firefighters did it in the past. Since many of the firefighters in charge are much older than the recruits they have ways of doing tasks differently than the new regulations that were put in place over the years. Another speculation that could be made is that there may not be much commotion in the community and whoever gets to the fire the quickest or to the accident the fastest will get the recognition and the excitement of completing a task. Thirdly, the mild form of hazing that the veterans put the recruits through contributes to why they are not progressing and why many of them are dying in fires. They are taught by the older ones that they have to look and follow specific duties in order to become a real firefighter. The last reason they might be having so many accidents is that the older regulations that the captains are following and the new regulations that recruits are following are clashing literally with the truck crashes and figuratively with ideologies.

Candidate Miles' five paragraph order briefing to his fire team was clear and the content was equally as clear and in order. SNC confidently briefed all the vital key points and formulated a solid verbal plan prior to execution of the obstacle. Upon entering the problem SNC's initial plan did not work to his advantage but, he without pause or hesitation he was able shift gears and came up with a secondary plan. Although, the second plan did not work as well, he quickly readjusted and mentally calculated a follow on plan. SNC's sound and timely ability to make hasty decisions during points of friction gave great credit to himself as a thorough decision maker. The communication emphasized by SNC throughout the problem was a great asset as
