Mac probably had the curiosity that typically informs my movements. It was out of curiosity and the desire to understand the dynamics in operations of buildings and related constructions that he sought for the solid understanding of building construction. It is this curiosity and self-interest that often encourages one to plough on and develop oneself. True to these words, at the academy, he continues to learn at advanced levels on the construction implements of buildings and their reaction to fire. This approach mirrors my own approach. Like Mac, I personally often have an inquisitive approach to issues that leads ...

I would have been in a position to relate the fire incident to the class theoretical knowledge. Indeed, as the Rookie observes, the fire was a Class A fire and it was essential for the Rookie to be able to identify that factor. As a student of fire behavior classes, I would equally be able to relate the various types of fires and the likely causes of the same. Just as the Rookie observes, it would have been possible to be alert to possible conditions such as flashovers, rollovers and backdrafts. Ultimately, it is upon the student to identify such critical occurrences ...
