Firefighters need not only patience and courage, but the ability to think analytically and make quick decisions based on a multitude of factors in a rapidly escalating situation. Fire science is the attempt to understand and codify fires and fire prevention and suppression methods so that the damage to property and human life is minimized. Anyone considering becoming a firefighter or entering a fire-related career such as fire inspection should keep up with current knowledge and best practices in fire prevention and suppression.
