we don't have to listen to that." He tells the fire cadets to take off their

fatigue uniform shirts, hats and ID badges and walks away. The two fire

|required equipment to the scene. In fact, other companies have arrived

and their crews have gotten off their apparatus, gotten their gear on,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
and gone into the building while your firefighters are still bringing in the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
required forcible entry equipment. After the call, the officer calls the
| | | | | | | | | | |
firefighters over and says, "I noticed you were not getting off the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
apparatus with the equipment quickly enough. We need to be fast,
| | | | | | | | | | |
efficient and organized to get in the building and deal with this
| | | | | | | | | | | |
situation." In this scenario, you are one of the firefighters slow to get off
