Firefighter's
Handbook: Essentials of Firefighting, 3E
The knowledge and skills you need - the way
you need it. That is what Firefighter's Handbook: Essentials of
Firefighting, Third Edition aims to provide with this new
edition of our basic book.

information on fire life safety initiatives, managing air supply and
performing emergency checks, predicting building collapse, GPS
technology, thermal imaging use in search and rescue, new
considerations for terrorism response, and much more!
