My guess is he is either a very young firefighter or a gung-ho, but fairly inexperienced, volunteer.

- TeMPOraL 11y agoI remember being surprised by this sequence of priorities when first learning them on first-aid course. I guess we like to picture people like you as heroes, bravely stepping in to save the day, ignoring the risk to themselves, but we don't stop to consider that this may not be the most effective course of action. As usual, the optimal way of doing stuff is quite different from what we see on TV.
