I recently spent a couple of quiet hours enjoying the wonderful movie “Sully,” directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks as Captain Chesley Sullenberger, which recreated the events that led to Sullenberger’s water landing of a commercial airliner onto the icy Hudson River on January 15, 2009, with all the souls on board surviving.
For any seasoned traveler, you could not help but get goosebumps imagining what was going through everyone’s mind as the Captain announced “brace for impact” to passengers as they were coached over and over again to assume the “crash position.”

从“哈德逊奇迹”中学到的以下课程直接适用于火服务场景。
- 经验和培训至关重要！我们通过体验式暴露来学习，向我们展示什么有效和无效。我们培训高风险，低频活动，因此我们将在实际危机时期进行训练。这包括研究美国国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH）的消防员死亡报告，并在高风险，低频事件上进行钻探，例如崩溃，梅天，丢失的消防员。我最近参观了我们国家最大的消防部门之一的培训学院。他们不仅使整个部门通过国际消防员协会/国际消防局长协会消防场生存训练和所有相关的道具和场景，而且还使所有指挥官通过模拟和互动式场景，但可能很少遇到，但对于我们的生存至关重要。
- 保持冷静。您的身体通过释放您的“飞行或战斗”交感神经系统反应来应对压力。这将释放肾上腺素和应激激素进入您的血液，从而提高脉搏频率，呼吸和血压；过度驱动的副交感反应会影响决策。平衡这种反应，缓慢而深呼吸。
- Communicate clearly! In the movie, we all hear Captain Sully clearly and succinctly declare their in-flight emergency, request what he needed (i.e., an immediate landing spot), and concisely detail his alternate course of action—a Hudson water landing. Many fireground NIOSH investigative reports continue to detail the challenges of fireground communications when something goes wrong. Prepare a canned communications report in your mind, such as who and where you are, what the emergency is, and what you need. Again, the time to prepare and practice is daily.
- Follow the list! Punch lists are crucial job aids that make critical tasks and necessary action steps that are essential; they are to be completed in situations that are infrequent, potentially catastrophic, and high risk. We see Captain Sully and his co-pilot quickly go through a punch list of actions necessary to safely prepare for a water landing or double engine loss.
- Teamwork is critical. We see that although Captain Sully was the pilot in command during this historical event, it took a team to coordinate the actions to make this event successful where no lives were lost. The co-pilot, flight attendants, and even other passengers assisting each other. On the fire ground, it takes a well-trained and coordinated team that clearly understands their tasks.
Whether career or volunteer, all firefighters will likely face a high-risk, low-frequency, or potentially catastrophic event or sequence of events. Captain Sully and his team spent their lives preparing for one. Have you and your team done the same?
