This review is from: Fire Department Incident Safety Officer (Paperback)

I found this book very informative, ignore Safety-Command's review. I attended David Dodson's 16 hour class during the FDIC conference in Indianapolis in 2005. The class was an overview of the book and the more important skill of learning to read smoke. Mr. Dodson also taught an Art of Reading Smoke class that was attended by over 1,000 people. This book is the basis for the FDSOA certification test. It is a must read for any Department who has not established procedures for implementing a scene safety officer. Read and learn. The book is simplified to better understand and function in the role of a Safety Officer.

I purchased two Fire Department Incident Safety officers manual for myself and a friend. When reading the manual I found that both books had several chapters missing.When I contacted Amazon they quickly sent me new manuals with no charge and pre-paid return labels to cover the return of the defective manuals. Even though there was an initial problem, I am very pleased with the service I received.
