This episode takes a look at the ins and outs of rural fireground operations as we welcome to the show former Navy vet, Loveland-Symmes (OH) FD Captain, and Fayetteville FD Asst. Chief Bill Adkins to the show. Bill is also heavily involved as an author and featured contributor at Fire Apparatus and Emergency Equipment magazine where he has dozens of published articles. We examine the challenges faced in the rural vs suburban fire setting, tactical considerations, command thought processes, water supply issues and apparatus specification considerations unique to those settings. With 85% of the American fire service operating in either rural or suburban fire departments, this episode provides a framework for operational success when having to truly make do with the limited resources and personnel that plague the lion's share of departments across our country.
