From the text on the history of one or more disciplines, fire, police, or EMS, discuss some aspect of the history of the discipline that you found most surprising and/or which you believe is not widely understoodeither within or outside of the discipline.

See if you can draw any parallels between how an issue was handled historically and how it is handled today.

Finally, is there an aspect of how issues were handled historically that you can see as being potentially better than the way we handle them today or, perhaps, does the history of how an issue was handled lead you to better understand why it is handled the way it is today?
