To the civilian, fighting fires means turning the hose on them.  But vanquishing the raging beast that is a fire involves much more than that.  It takes considerable strategy, expert technique, an understanding of the science that governs it, plus a firm handle on how to prevent the beast from roaring forth in the first place.  Battling fire is a science, requiring a special breed of soldier — compassionate, fast thinking, calm under pressure, and of great physical stamina.  If you are that soldier, you can do no better than to get your degree at the University of New Haven, home of one of the largest, most comprehensive fire programs in the country.
