Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is solid. It does an excellent job in covering HazMat, which has been neglected for far too long. It also covers the standard at a good depth, not too complicated but not superficial either. The book is formatted well, easy to read, and the street-smart tips are very beneficial." - Attila Hertelendy, Instructor, University of Nevada, Fire Science Academy, Carlin, NV

a great book,
This review is from: Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting and Emergency Response, Second Edition (Paperback)
Much better than the previously used texts at the local fire academy, and the skills sections make a good resource for in house drills.

Hey guy, buy no other book,
By Mike "Squirrel Nutkin" (Fairfax, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting and Emergency Response, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is the best handbook for fire departments to use in training new personnel. This text has more information than the IFSTA book and is much better written and edited. I also like the pictures this one has, especially the ones in the history section (mainly the one from Gettysburg). Go forth and purchase a hundred, no, a thousand copies for your department today!
