FETI Research Initiative

LSU Fire and Emergency Training Institute is investigating firefighter line-of-duty deaths caused by risky behavior on the fireground. The focus of the paper was to examine the influences upon the cognitive decision making processes used by fire fighters.

Jeff Pardue, Curriculum Coordinator for FETI is taking a pedagogical approach to the research to determine why a significant number of fire fighters continue to choose to take unnecessary risks on the fireground. This is the first in a series of papers that seeks to develop new and innovative curriculum programs that addresses preventable line-of-duty deaths.
