I thought that the study guide reinforced what was taught in the hardcover edition. The questions are often seen on promotional tests.

I can't say enough about how enlightening this book is. Different strategies that apply to all types of firefighting departments, ie rural, urban, suburban, etc. The book reads well and is very informative with hundreds of photos, and diagrams. Many situations encountered and explained. A great book for any firefighter, or officer who wants to improve their skills and those of their engine or truck companies. A must read for any serious fire officer!
