For years, Chief Dunn has shared his knowledge of the fire service by contributing vital information through amazing articles, books, videos, and seminars that are one-of-a kind and beneficial to firefighters of any rank in many ways. Strategy of Firefighting is nothing short of this; amazing and informative!

In over 30 chapters, Chief Dunn has answered the question many of us have- "What goes through the mind of the Incident Commander?" I feel this book is essential to every firefighter because, unlike many other books that explain how to do something, this explains why we are doing it. Chief Dunn not only discusses strategy of firefighting in over 15 specific occupancies, but he discusses strategy of: hoseline placement, stopping fire spread, opposing hose lines, smoke venting, master stream, search, explosions, collapse search, evacuation and more. Whether you are a career or volunteer, in a city or a small town, this book will help at your next fire!! Well done Chief!

This is the second book by Vincent Dunn I've ordered from Amazon and I have again been impressed by his knowledge. This book is very factual and gets straight to the point. There are a few pictures but more important is the abundance of information on can take from this book. There was information in this book that I was not aware of. Being a Career Firefighter I would recommend this book as a learning tool for an academy class all the way to a seasoned vet. A++++
