When sent to a fire, it's important to get water on it as soon as possible.   It's a race to get water on the fire.  The fire truck drives fast to the fire, and the firefighters hurry to get the hoses, nozzles hooked up, and spraying on the fire as soon as possible.    So one of the techniques used by ski racers can also be used by firefighters.    That is visualizing beforehand what needs to be done once at the fire. Therefore, just as a ski racer visualizes the race course, a firefighter should use the technique of visualizing the valves, gauges, and all else in preparation for the real thing.  That's why the training videos we make that are specific to SVES can help some of us who use visualization in preparation for the real thing.   Everyone learns differently.
