By Jessica F. JohnsonPosted February 11, 2020 01:30:12Firefighters are often tasked with fighting fires on the ground, but they are often unable to get a handle on the flames before they spread, experts say.

A new U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) study, which examined the firefighting capabilities of the Army’s Firefighting Service, found that most of the time, when a fire gets out of control and is deemed an emergency, the fire fighter will be assigned to the fire, rather than being in the line of fire. 

This was especially true when the firefighters were assigned to a location that was not currently under control of the other firefighters, according to the report. 

A fire fighter on the job is not equipped with the proper equipment, such as protective equipment, to deal with the fire.

“The firefighters on the fire front are not equipped to deal in the extreme situation that we’re seeing in the fire in the south of the United States,” said James M. Larkin, an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee and a firefighting expert.

Larkin said firefighters need to have “the skills and the training that they need to deal on a high-end fire and on an emergency scene.”

The study, titled “Firefighting and Fire Operations in the Army, United States, 2016,” found that of the 3,854 firefighting fires in the United Kingdom, only about 20 percent were designated as emergencies and less than 20 percent of those fires were classified as fire emergencies.

“That means if you look at the numbers, we’re not talking about a few hundred firefighters here, we have a lot more people that are working on fire, but we’re talking about tens of thousands of people,” Larkin said.

Larkin added that the study found that only about 12 percent of all U.K. firefighting calls were emergency calls.

“It’s a problem because we’re trying to manage an area of the country where it is really hard to manage, and we need the firefighters to be able to do that,” Lacey said.
