This review is from: Introduction to Fire Protection (Hardcover)
I am going back to school and taking my intro to fire protection class. Prerequisite to the RCC Fire Academy. I found my text, Intro to Fire Protection, here on Amazon. Saved a ton of money and had my text book in my hands in only a couple of days. Will buy all my text books from Amazon from now on.
