I’m not a firefighter in the US so please forgive me if I’m wrong and don’t mean to offend. I’d like to be educated. It seems that states seem to differ on the qualifications needed to become a firefighter. It doesn’t seem to be an easy transfer from state to state. Surely fire acts the same regardless of state you’re in? Also atmospheric pressure (give or take altitude) to get the pump to work and drive it to the job is the same. Fire behaviour, chemicals, road traffic collisions as well. I understand messages to dispatch will be different. How do people feel about this as a whole. Is it more over complicated than it needs to be or is it a good thing?
