Providing firefighter safety, survival and rescue training information.
Eric L. Fritz
The purpose of this blog is to provide information regarding firefighter safety, survival & rescue training.
The material in the blog is valuable as are Firefighter Safety & Survival programs, but should only be used as a last resort.
Knowledge, training and fireground awareness should be top priorities to eliminate the need to ever put to practice such tactics.

Some people equate camaraderie with being jovial.
It is anything but.
Camaraderie is sharing hardship. It is shouts and commands, bruises and cuts.
It's a sore back and lungs that burn from exertion.
It's heat on your neck and a pit in your stomach.
It's a grimy handshakeand a hug on wet shoulders when we're safe.
It's not being asleep when it's your turn at watch.
It is trust, it is respect, it is acting honorably.
