 Building Block for all levels of firefighting. April 12, 2001

After studying this well written publication from front to back I can professionally say that all NFPA standards are demonstrated and tactfully explained. All levels of firefighters can use the information in this fine book to build on from "rookie" up to "Chief". The book has easy to read and follow information, and very basic graphics and easy to comprehend diagrams. As an instructor I can not recommend a better textbook for the modern firefighter.

The book is excellent in its layout. Is easy to follow and is a very imformative piece of necessary literature for any firefighter taking firefighter 1. Is very informative on NFPA regulations and guidelines. I was impressed with the detail that was given in the book, our instructor was impressed with this book as well.

One of the BEST firefighting books out September 15, 2001
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
Im just starting out with my FF1 classes and the book is a lot better then the third editon, more picture, deeper explenations, and most important more topics, the state requres the Essentials of Firefighting 3rd or 4th edition The fourth edition is by far the best, it covers allmost everything you MIGHT encounter on a scene......This is a breat Firefighter book, although it doesnt cover any medical ops it just as good.
