The IAFC's Safety, Health, and Survival Section (SHS) in partnership with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) released the fourth edition of the Crew Resource Management (CRM) Manual during Fire-Rescue International (FRI) 2025. This time-tested resource is designed to strengthen firefighter decision-making, communication, and overall team performance.
The updated edition underscores a critical truth: human error remains the leading cause of preventable incidents in the fire service, particularly during periods of fatigue, routine, or extreme stress.
