JMOR, you are completely right. From when I started in 1973 to the present the emphasis on safety at the expense of aggressive fire fighting has been a continuous change. In the early eighties the fire service was saying wait until OSHA gets at the fire service. There was delay because there was a mind-set that firefighting had to be dangerous. Then suddenly thee was NIOSH and they really came at fire fighter safety. It was needed because fire fighting became much more dangerous in the late sixties. Once the use of self contained breathing apparatus became widespread, firefighters were going into the dangerous situation of interior attack much more than before. When I started out we were taught that we should expect to "take a beating" which meant getting burned, as we pushed aggressively to where the seat of the fire was in order to put the water on it. Now, if a firefighter gets burned there has to be an investigation into who screwed up, and an officer is likely to get a reprimand.
