In regards to the quote, how do you handle these people? I have a guy at my station that seems all about “the team of me.” From what I can tell, he believes that having the brass on his collar that says he can pump an engine, and having pumped some fires, that he knows all that he needs to about the truck. Meanwhile, he could not answer the captain when asked how much of the rated capacity could the truck pump at 200psi, or 250psi.

I will be happy to offer more details if you’d like, but I’ll reserve that for an email response instead.
