"Mayday"
As Dr. Burton A. Clark of the National Fire Academy writes:  “Firefighters do not like to admit that they might need to be rescued. The delay in calling a “Mayday” may be caused by many factors, but three need to be addressed immediately:
 
(1) the stigma associated with admitting to yourself and letting others know you need help
(2) not having been given clear rules for calling a Mayday
(3) the manner in which the fire service makes decisions.
