Save your money,
By Robert Daine (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefighting Strategies and Tactics (Hardcover)
If you need to buy the book because the author is your instructor,then do so. If you want to learn how to make sound, prudent decisions as a firefighter, purchase John Norman's "Fire Officer's Handbook." The difference between the two is like reading Dr. Suess and Shakespeare.
