For a number of reasons the we rely on interior firefighting vs. exterior firefighting causing the difference in our protective clothing as well as our tactics. Our equipment and tactics would work as well in London as their equipment and vice versa... Even departments on our west coast use quite different equipment and techniques than departments on our east coast.

I'd think more a little more before type your posts, and than again before you send. The only thing your hurting is your reputation.

Oh, and many are thinking it... so I'll say it. You are 16, so you may think you know what your talking about but you really don't Training is not firefighting, anyone who says otherwise hasn't really fought fire.
