Firefighting: Tactics & Training
The nature of fire is changing faster than the policies, doctrines, and training designed to fight it.
The rise of fire in the wildland-urban interface, fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, and fire occurring in high-rise, industrial, and mass-casualty incidents, mean that training and response tactics must keep up.
Firefighter training and response tactics that are standardized in one nation may be unknown to another. These tactics may be directly transferable across borders or may need adaptation to fit the culture of some nations.
