Dear FireRescue1 Member,

In this month's eNews, we discuss how ladder placement and operation contribute to the safety of the truck crew and others on the fireground. We also dig deep into technical rescue PPE to look at how it's tested and how it's evolving.

Lastly, be sure to check out the story of a fire department considering giving its first responders weapons in order to provide protection against a wave of rising violence.

— Rick Markley, FireRescue1 Editor
