Instructors: We can preach all we want-but if we don't set the example by actions-our words are nothing but BS. Firefighters burn to death annually at TRAINING BURNS. This can very easily be fixed....if we wanna. Full "modern-head to toe with no exposed skin" PPE-all the time... ...and a full and serious understanding that the goal is to not kill or seriously burn a participant...OR a Fire Instructor. Never been burned wearing your "old gear" ? You got lucky. Wanna play? Get a game. Wanna do this job for a long time? Get smart. These photos are from a live fire training burn in late 2007..... (This submission to FirefighterCloseCalls.com was in memory and honor of FDNY Captain John Drennan, R.I.P.)
