Good Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting (Paperback)
This was a good book, but wasn't the one I needed, please make sure that you need this one or the one that included emergency response. Everything was as described by seller just not enough due diligence on my part.
