An
ideal building block for aspiring fire officers and an essential
review for experienced command officers.
Incident command requires background knowledge
and application skills in all phases of strategy and tactics -
knowing what needs to be done as well as the how it is going to be
accomplished.
An important element of this book is the use
of case studies based on actual incidents to show the applications
of the theories to real world situations. The authors' myriad
experiences in all phases of the operational fire service are
included to detail the command operations from the company level to
major alarms.
The book uses a clear, systematic approach
correlating with the course objectives of Fire and Emergency
Services Higher Education enabling it to be used by all levels of
fire fighters and fire officers.
