## Resource

Why is data-driven decision making so critical? Sean Duffy joins host Eric Dreiman to discuss the importance of search at fire scenes, data, and the analytical side of firefighting on this episode of Hooks & Hoses. Duffy shares his thoughts on his recent Fire Engineering article, “Fireground Decision Making: The Data‑Driven Edge for Search.” He draws on Firefighter Rescue Survey findings, FSRI research, and frontline experience. The conversation also touches on reasons why traditional occupancy cues can't be trusted. The guest and host share advice on developing search policies and training and communicating clear progress reports.
