We turn to the National Fire Protection Association in the U.S. a lot.
They're beginning to develop standards, but from a fire chief perspective, one of the reasons I'd like to see a national fire administrator is that it's the question your administrator would be putting to you at policy: “Let's talk about how we're going to do this, and let's get that guidance down to all fire chiefs.” Once we know what we're dealing with and what we need to do, believe me, we can then go and seek funding from whomever to try to get the equipment we need.
Again, we keep repeating this, but everything comes back to it. There needs to be a single person at the federal level who can advise policy-makers and who can bring forward that perspective so that these gaps don't appear.
