Survivability Profiling: Rescuing Victims and Keeping You & Your Members Safe
The sole purpose of survivability profiling is to lower the number of preventable line-of-duty deaths. Quantifying "Risk a lot to save a lot," this concept differs from basic risk vs. reward and size-up. It goes beyond the tendency to automatically justify risk whenever we respond to structural fires, providing firefighters, officers, and chiefs with the tools and background to make informed and educated decisions on when your boots hit the ground should you go or not go. This discussion will help keep you and your members safer during primary searches and initial attack strategies and tactics.
