Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting). It's a leadership and fire ground -decision making page on the site. Jump into any discussion at any time you like. There re a few good ones going right now. Are you working on a truck or engine? I'm also just finishing the Air Mngt book. Looked good.
