How the great fires changed the fire service
There is nothing unique about the Pittsburgh fire; history proves that Americans ignored the risks until disaster struck.
About the author. Bruce Hensler served as a firefighter from 1976 to 2011 in career, combination and volunteer departments. He previously served as a fire program specialist in the Emergency Response Support Branch of the U.S. Fire Administration, retiring in 2017. He also previously served as deputy director of the operations division for the firefighter training program in Maine. Hensler has a master’s degree in public administration.
