The competitor’s flashlight was easy to take apart, inside of it we can find the wires, the battery, the light bulb, and others components of it. First we took apart the front case and we were able to see all the parts that it has inside, we started taking them apart so we were able to see how they’re placed and how they make it work, trying to not mess them up or to put them in different places than they were before.

Norwood and Gray suggest that, “We are giving a false sense of security when we fight only fuel-limited fire during training”(59). If new firefighters have never been exposed to an out of control fire before they reach their actual jobs they will be dumbfounded once they see the difference between that and what they are used to training with.
