What a wonderful age in which we live!! You cannot go anywhere without having your actions photographed or videotaped...therefore, it would be best to stay on your toes at all times. Remember the whole Rodney King incident? That was a news helicopter, I believe. Nowadays, someone can whip out there cell phone and get some pretty good video footage. Do I think that this should be our only incentive for doing our jobs well and right the first time? No. Do I think that it ups the ante a little bit in regards to what the public (and other firefighters worldwide) uses to form their impressions of us? Yes.
Youtube has a lot of awesome examples of fireground footage. It can help us learn and enhance our tactical practices. Take a look at this one and let me know what you think:

I contacted the guy that posted this video...he said that supposedly it was a known drug dealer's house...hence the less-than-aggressive tactics. So, in light of that, if you want...pretend it's a regular house and think about the tactics you'd use...
