1 “Some people run from problems. Others run to them. We call them heroes.” – unknown. This statement is especially true for that of a firefighter. When a building catches fire, most people will run from the fire to safety. Firefighters run from safety to the burning building. Fighting fires and looking cool, however, is only a small part of the job. Most people don’t realize that there is much that happens behind the scenes. A firefighter also deals with many events besides fires.

I would disagree with the statement that "A prudent fire chief steers clear of politics.” All fire departments run on some kind of funding. Without the proper funding then the department either cannot adequately staff apparatus or are forced to cut back in response abilities or additional programs and personnel. Money for funding often comes from the political area and government programs. This is just one of the crucial reasons that "A prudent fire chief" would actually in fact be well involved in politics, creating relationships with individuals that could grow to be influential in decision making. In addition, to overseeing all operational aspects of the department, a chief is a representative of the department

Initially, the whole body model was validated by predicting the changes in Tc_N during cold water immersion and exercise conditions and was later applied for the firefighting scenarios. Cold water immersion and exercise at constant intensity are among the preferred scenarios for assessing the human body models [10]. Both the ambient temperature and the overall heat trans-fer coefficient (h) values can be varied or kept constant. This allows the model to demonstrate its capability to evaluate the influence of variations in the environmental conditions on the body temperatures. The whole body model incorporates variations in metabolic heat generation rates, local blood perfusion rates, shivering, and sweating to compute the variations in Tc_N,
