SAM 058 | Mission Myopia

Published: June 2, 2015, 11 a.m.

The tones drop for an apartment building fire. On the way, dispatch is advising multiple calls, confirming a working fire and the possibility of people trapped. The mind of the officer on the aerial platform is busy processing \u2013 thinking \u2013 anticipating \u2013 what will need to be done upon arrival? Of course, truck work is on the officer\u2019s mind: Forcible entry; search and rescue; ventilation. The officer takes a deep breath and smiles. It\u2019s going to be a good day. That is\u2026 until the officer gets overcome by mission myopia.
