REVIEW
Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting and Emergency Response

This is a great improvement over the standard Essentials of Firefighting put out by IFSTA. The writing is better, the graphics are outstanding and there is great background information on each subject.

If you just want a textbook, purchase the IFSTA book. If you are interested in really reading and grasping the essentials then purchase this encyclopedia of knowledge and insight.

This book is much better than the IFSTA Essentials Manual. It does a better job on all the topics and also includes responses to Haz Mat and WMD incidents. No need to purchase another book. Excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hey guy, buy no other book, May 7 2004
By Mike "Squirrel Nutkin" (Fairfax, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefighter's Handbook:Essentials of Firefighting (Paperback)
This is the best handbook for fire departments to use in training new personnel. This text has more information than the IFSTA book and is much better written and edited. I also like the pictures this one has, especially the ones in the history section (mainly the one from Gettysburg). Go forth and purchase a hundred, no, a thousand copies for your department today!
