You Can’t Know Too Much About a Job That Can Kill You
Firefighting has always been, and will always be a dirty, dangerous, blue-collar job, and that will never change. That doesn’t mean that all it takes to be a firefighter is a high VO2 max, courage, and a strong work-ethic - you have to be smart too. As a firefighter, you need to understand thermology (fire behavior), architectural morphology (building construction), meteorology (fire-weather), physiology (trauma), biology (medical), pharmacology (drugs), toxicology (HAZMAT), hydrology (pumping water), psychology (leadership), sociology (ethics), and the list goes on and on. Collectively, we call this Firegroundology.
Don’t put your or your victims’ lives in jeopardy because you struggle with firefighting academics. You didn’t stop working-out after you graduated the fire academy, so why would you stop studying? With Firegroundology’s short, entertaining, videos you can work on becoming a smarter firefighter without even cracking a textbook.
