Why do we continue to see similar firefighter injuries and line-of-duty deaths (LODDs) repeated each year?
We often respond with technical solutions, such as more SOGs, safety lists, and studying more strategies and tactics. But are there greater depths of technical knowledge in our profession that can make firefighting significantly safer? Does it also help to look at the human side of our profession?
Authors Dane Carley and Craig Nelson have a passion for helping people and departments in the fire and emergency services become successful. The techniques, methods, and processes in this book are based on their own research and data, as well as studies from many other professions and industries interested in being the best.

The amount of time spent working out is not always a good measure of effort or results. Interval training combines short, high-intensity bursts of speed and effort with recovery or rest phases repeated during one exercise session. Alternating intense and light activity builds stamina and endurance, tends to burn more calories and can reduce the frequency of injury. Short rest periods during vigorous activity helps to reduce the accumulation of lactic acid pain.
