Rapid Intervention Lessons Learned

Please heed our warning, and prepare your department for the worse. This can happen anywhere. If you are not trained in RIT, then get trained. If you don't use a Mayday policy, you need to implement one. This training must be continuous. One little class on the RIT concept won't cut it. You must train and train hard. If your personnel can't get it right, then make them do it until they can. When it comes time to save one of your own, you had better have your stuff together, from the Commander down to the Firefighter. I personally feel that Don did not have to die that March day; we were not trained to save him!
