‘Attack every situation’: Vince Bettinazzi shares shift expectations

Today’s podcast unpacks the complex topic of go/no-go decision-making, focusing on vertical ventilation and search tactics. Our guest down this rabbit hole is Training Chief Vince Bettinazzi, who authored one of the articles in FireRescue1’s latest training tool, “Go/no-go decision making on the fireground,” which is available to download and share with your crews.

We dig into all of this:

• “Aggressive” vs. “attack” semantics
• How to update size-up reports
• Pulling off AARs even when you can’t gather the full crew
• Don’t miss: Bettinazzi’s pocket doors pro tip for search crews
• Episode power quote: “I think that you are limiting yourself so greatly by being a one-trick pony when you show up [on the scene], and if it doesn’t work, there’s no recovery because you didn’t plan.”
• Hot seat sneak peek: How Vince blows off steam
