NIOSH Firefighter Radio Communications

CHAPTER III: FIREFIGHTER COMMUNICATION ISSUES

Communication problems commonly encountered by firefighters (and others) can be broadly divided into two categories. First are mechanical or technical issues related to unsuitable equipment, system design, inadequate system capacity (too much radio traffic), and building construction, among others.

The second category includes human factors such as radio discipline, training, and tactical decisionmaking. These factors, while not technical issues themselves, adversely affect firefighter radio communications, especially when combined with technical and equipment issues.

This chapter presents an overview of these communication issues as well as a review of communications issues that affect fire departments every day.
