I couldn't agree more! It is refreshing to see the number below 100. I have always wondered what the glass floor is though. Is it possible to get much lower? Possibly. But can we keep it there? Probably not. I am not a pessimist but more of a realist. Your idea might be the most ideal and should be added to the 16 life safety initiatives if not there already Great post!

It's true that the count will be low, but we'll need to see what the number of fires were across the nation. If they were down too, then the praise of being below 100 might be short-lived. I agree with you that there needs to be an increase in mentoring. Not any uniform, white paper system, but senior men invested in the job and willing to take the time and pass on the 'trade'. Note 'trade', a big, big difference in attitude when compared to passing on tips, tricks or the latest fad. The more members begin to see it as a craft and not a paycheck or jolly, then the better chances are of impacting the upcoming culture. Again, good post. Bill Good post Jeebs.
