10. What Do You Think?...
Tragic!

11. Most of All……

12. The Average Life
Fire Officers have…
• “On the flight deck we are the fire department. No one is coming to bail us out
during emergency situations. Aviation is a dangerous business, and we have to be
prepared for anything.”
• “We put a lot of effort into training and getting ourselves ready, but it was very
challenging. When you’re holding training in classrooms as much as we had to, you
have to find ways to keep the team motivated and make them understand how
important their job is.“
• “When you respond to a casualty you have to know that you can step up and lead
no matter what the situation is. There are a lot of moving parts in a fire fighting
evolution or a salvage operation. You have to have your head on a swivel and be
able to see all of it and control it at the same time.” (Scorza)
