"There is nothing more difficult to carry out,
nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things.

For the reformer has enemies in all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new."
Machiavelli 1642

Firefighting is a dangerous occupation. The brave men and women who dedicate their lives to our protection from fire deserve the best equipment and training.

This knowledge does not belong to any organisation. It belongs to firefighters!

"We do not rise to the level of our expectations.
We fall to the level of our training."
