“One clichéd response in the fire service is to say that if we had to do it all over again, we wouldn’t have changed anything,” Cohen added. “I think that’s a knee-jerk reaction to a bad incident. It’s a tough thing to look in the mirror and say that we made mistakes, but we need to correct it and move ahead. A building can always be rebuilt. Firemen are not expendable. If we in the fire service forget incidents like the Hackensack Ford fire, then we get very complacent. Complacency kills.”
