Synopsis:

This full-color second edition features up-to-date, vital information on today's fire service combined with current hazardous materials and terrorism coverage - in one all-inclusive volume! "Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting and Emergency Response 2E" highlights all the critical details that apply to the job of today's firefighter, from the basic requirements of Firefighter I and II, to hazardous materials awareness and operations, to incidents involving terrorism. The comprehensive format provides a welcome alternative to using numerous manuals to train students for the Firefighter I and II and Hazardous Operations levels. Clear and consistent content that is compliant with the 2002 edition of the NFPA 1001 Standard makes this a must-have training aid and resource for every firefighter.

Review: "This book is solid. It does an excellent job in covering HazMat, which has been neglected for far too long. It also covers the standard at a good depth, not too complicated but not superficial either. The book is formatted well, easy to read, and the street-smart tips are very beneficial." - Attila Hertelendy, Instructor, University of Nevada, Fire Science Academy, Carlin, NV
