This Recert course discusses the importance of safe operating practices. Fire fighting is risky business. The fire fighter’s most important responsibility is to finish the shift or the call in the same (or better) condition than he or she began it. Coming home safely means knowing one’s job, understanding the risks one faces as a fire fighter, and taking steps to prevent injuries by reducing or eliminating those risks. In this chapter, fire fighters will learn about the principles of safety that should be followed throughout one’s career in the fire service.
