Quality Control In The Fire Service

[x635 4,066]

EMT's and EMT-P's are required to undergo quality assusrance/imrpovement reviews of their care, skills, and action, very frequently. This is not done so much as to punish anyone, rather to improve their skills and, when done properly, used as a learning tool or refresher.

Why doesn't the fire service do the same for individual firefighters on a regular basis?

I know, there are reviews after calls. But what process is used to identify skills an individual firefighter can improve on? Many firefighting activities are done as a group, but the ones with stronger skills always shore up the weaker ones, if that makes sense.
