Yeah, the whole call‑in‑to‑cut‑to‑report loop is basically a living drum pattern. I’ve heard people in some Indigenous fire‑fighting groups use chant‑rhythms to keep everyone in sync, like a countdown on drumbeats before a burn. And even the old “fire dance” rituals in Southeast Asia had a set tempo to coordinate teams. It’s like the firefighter’s cadence is a modern echo of those ancient patterns—both are survival rituals that turn chaos into a predictable beat. The overlap is uncanny: a quick, sharp “tock” when a hose hits, a syncopated breathing beat when they’re ventilating—basically the same thing you’d hear in a ceremonial drum circle. It shows how rhythm is the unsung hero of any high‑pressure job.
