Does the term "do more with less” sound familiar? For many volunteer and combination departments, that's a daily reality – and it matters most in the critical first minutes of an incident. This webinar will review incident priorities and how staffing levels can make all the difference between winning and losing on the fireground. We'll discuss staffing studies that have been completed and how departments can use that data to their advantage. We'll also review NFPA 1710 and 1720, along with the OSHA standard for 2-in/2-out, and what these mean for departments working with limited staffing.
