    Firefighter's equipment


    Job Changes

    Improvements in training, equipment and prevention have drastically altered the firefighting profession


    The shrill scream of a fire engine barreling through town with brawny men hanging off the back used to mean there was a fire somewhere. Some citizens used to chase those big rigs hoping to get a glimpse of a roaring blaze. Independence Day used to spawn many such fires, but that's rarely the case anymore. Firefighters are more likely to wind up at the scene of an accident pulling a victim from a car or in someone's home giving emergency medical care to a heart attack victim.   More
