And fast forward through the 20th century, what that did was building codes, fire sprinklers, you know, how we wire our rooms to make sure that, you know, the outlets in our wiring is, you know, 16, 18 inches off the ground, depending on what state you're in, you know. how we run the wires through conduit, where fire hydrants are.

Those early fires, what would happen is, it was before water in the cities, so they'd fight and would pails of sand, you know, and shovel on the fire. And lots of times they create fire breaks in the city. So as buildings were burning, instead of spraying water on them because they didn't have fire hydrants, they would just demolish a line of buildings behind them.

That's where the saying fight fire with fire comes from. And then start them on fire to create a back burn. To literally, they'd burn down part of the city to keep the rest of the city from burning when the main fire got there, which is a tactic to fight wildfire. Um... And eventually they said that this is ridiculous. We should be able to fight fires in our city.

So they created a system to fight fires. And that starts with building codes. It starts with a fire hydrant every street corner. It starts with hoses that match the fire hydrants. Because then as we started to use water in cities to fight fire, you know, different boroughs would help each other out. Brooklyn would go help Manhattan or, you know, Long Beach would go help, you know,

Anaheim, whatever. And they'd get there and the hoses wouldn't match because they bought different equipment, you know, or they made their own thing up. And then you'd have a fire wagon show up and try to plug their hose in. Ah, shit, these are different sizes. Like, what good is it if we can't hook the hoses up? So they standardized hose sizes, respirators, how to train firefighters.

And it created a national standard for firefighting that as it was adopted, decreased structural firefighting deaths in civilians and firefighters by 80%. And as you well know today, I mean, firefighters, we call them firefighters, but really, I think 94% of call-outs for firefighters now are medical-related. They're basically EMTs and car accidents.

We've largely eliminated structure fire from our nation's regular everyday occurrence. And around every city, fire stations are located to provide a five-minute response time anywhere in the city. And within that response time is a table of requirements. Okay, it's a four-story building. It'll be a ladder truck. It's a 10-story building, this big.
