5.0 out of 5 stars
Should be required in every fire station'n library,
By Josh Roten (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Truck Company Operations (Hardcover)
I am familiar with nearly all of Chief Mittendorf's written works on Truck Company Operations, and this is by far his best work. The information is clearly presented, the tactics are safe, efficeint, field tested, and proven. This manual should be in every fire station's library. If you want to get serious about good truck work, learn this book. The information is valuable to all firefighters, not just the "died in the wool" truckies like me !
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book.,

This review is from: Truck Company Operations, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Excellent book. The information was worth the money to me. If your new to truck company operations or haven't had real quality specialized training, then you will find good information here. You can't prepare too much when your knowledge may save a member of your team, a civilian or yourself.
