Nothing like a little freelancing to muck-up the best intended plans and strategies. It's bad enough when these individuals circumvent the chain of command to "help" where they please, but their blatant disregard for accountability and the safety of others is simply inexcusable!

Paul - right on. I've worked with attorneys on a couple of cases where freelancing by other firefighters put their brothers and sisters at risk. It is all about accountability, tighter command and control and above all, training, to reduce the number of freelancing incidents. These cases involved the deployment of positive pressure fans with firefighters already in the building working the fire with inadequate ventilation portals and insufficient water availability. They thought they were “helping” the situation and their actions contributed to flashover conditions.
Thanks for your insight and see you in March.
