“It was after many months of international fire service detachments that, psychologically, I began a steady transition into a sort of “cross-breed” firefighter. I had so much strategic development going on in my mind, and at this stage of my career, I had begun to form a proactive approach at fires, always one step ahead of the fire and sometimes ahead of my own crew’s actions. (Please understand that this in no way should be considered freelancing but rather operating with foresight.)
If I turned up at an interior door with a large axe or an entry tool already in my hands, this was proactive thinking that many U.S. firefighters take for granted. Back then, UK firefighters operated very much reactively and that often caused tactical time-lag delays”. https://lnkd.in/eWF6Kfwc
