A good summary of tactics, this book does not go into the detail of some other texts (see Norman's book) but provides a street level view of what you need when you need it. It keeps it simple, and when the situation is really bad, simple is what you will remember.

I've been in the Fire Service for 17yrs and this is the best book I've come across that sums up the essentials in an easy to read format with great illustrative examples of each concept. I also teach Public Safety Dive Rescue and water rescue across the U.S. and what is said regarding water incident safety and priorities are right on the mark. Good job Chief!

Must have for the entry level ff to chief, provides a practical, experienced based no-nonsense review of ff tactics and strategies.

Got this book as a graduation gift for a fire science major who is also doing Volunteer fire fighting. He LOVED it!!!

I think that this book is extremely informative. It is presented from a fire fighter's point of view which is quickly adaptable. Their is so much info. and great suggestions i will be rereading it. Any new Officer should make this a must read and reread,extremely helpful.
The author does respond to emails which demonstrates his professionalism.
Good read, Easy read, Highly recommend! Full Time Paid Fire Fighter.

One of the best StreetSmart firefighting and thought provoking books in a while. Provides ideas and concepts by both theory and real life experiences. A great reference for those looking to advance in the fire service.
