DH stands for "Driver/Operator of the fire apparatus".
A structure fire is a fire that occurs in a building or other man-made structure such as a house, office building, or warehouse.
Missing the action refers to when the DH, who is responsible for driving the fire truck to the scene of a fire, arrives after the other firefighters who are already working to put out the fire.
DHs often miss the action because they are responsible for driving the large and heavy fire truck, which can be difficult to maneuver through traffic, especially in emergency situations.
To prevent missing the action, DHs should practice and familiarize themselves with the route to common locations for structure fires, communicate with other firefighters about the best route to take, and constantly monitor traffic and road conditions while driving to the scene.
