A Fire Service "Must Read",
By Ronnie (Dallas/Ft. Worth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Command and Control of Fires and Emergencies (Paperback)
This book is a "must read" for every firefighter, regardless of rank. Chief Dunn (ret) presents this topic in layman's terms so even those without a background in building construction can learn valuable lessons that will promote fireground safety and survival while simultaneously assisting in the formulation and execution of sound strategy and tactics.
