I was a volunteer for 35 years and for twenty of them I was lead nozzleman and did I ever love it. There is just nothing else in the world that I have found as exciting and as good at generating adrenaline. We had about five of us on the department, all about the same age and we all loved the interior attack, and for the most part the other guys would support me. Our chief would trust us to use our judgement, and we would back out if we weren't making headway after awhile, but usually the fire just gave up too quickly for our liking. These days though it is very different. As RodNS said there are a lot of rules and also a lot more liability if a firefighter got hurt. Back in the day you weren't doing your job if you didn't get burned now and then, but today the municipality would have a law suit on it's hands if somebody got burned. So these days there is a lot more thought put into the decision of whether to attack or go defensive.
