[@reallynotgood1063]

So this is what I dont get about american firefighting. I get that it has worked great and all firefighters involved did a fkn good job. But why would a chief, de-facto incident commander need to direct all lines? This to me is so abstract, it just is way too much on an incident commanders mind, in my opinion, and they way we are trained and we work over here, he should just give a task to his lieutenants or whatever it would be, e.g. "protect the exposure here, use 2 lines" or whatever, and they'd be able to do that without needing to be directed by the incident commander all the way. To me this always was a disadvantage of US officer systems. Sure if you climb the ranks from down bottom to chief, you bring a lot of experience, but sometimes you never learned to take a step back from the action. I dont know if what he did here is doctrinally correct over in the US, but for us this would be unthinkable.

ssj2camaro21 Battalion chiefs are the lowest ranking field chiefs. They act as incident commander and are in charge of a battlion (A number of engines, ladders etc). A fire chief or chief of department is the highest ranking chief. It's more administrative but technically he'd be highest ranking incident commander on a fire scene.

[@scottcampbell4678]

I spent 20 years in a volunteer fire dept. Our deck guns were pre-piped. They were always set up and ready to go. Since our town was mostly rural, we depended on tankers. Our area has a very well-developed mutual aid system. We could have multiple tankers available in just a few minutes. All the depts carried portable ponds, so tankers could empty in just a couple of minutes through the fast dump outlet. That is the quickest way to ensure an adequate water supply, even with deck guns.
