Very informative considering that I have ambitions of becoming an officer someday.It give's you a different perspective about what we do and how to handle situations that we come across from someone else's point of veiw.

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!

As a fire protection engineer, I found the Fire Officers Handbook to be well written, providing broad coverage of the proper strategy and tactics to use on the 'fireground' or at a 'working fire'...both terms undefined in the book. In my opinion, the writing is strongly biased towards the fire service and somewhat 'emotional' in its presentation but those issues are a minor inconvenience compared to the content. The 'glossary' is extremely limited, yet many technical terms are left undefined... a lot of fire service lingo.
Overall, I'm glad I purchased/read it, well worth the money!

very tough book to understand but very helpful
