STOLEN  
I WAS ABOUT TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK IN AN ONLINE BOOK STORE FOR ALOT MORE THAN I PAID AT AMAZON. I FEEL LIKE I STOLE THIS BOOK FROM THEM. THANKS, AMAZON.

Great handbook  
This is a great resource for firefighters. I went through the fire academy and spent the past few years using IFSTA Essentials to study with. I found the Firefighter's Handbook to be much more entertaining and enlightening. The chapters read alot easier and seem to be written for firefighters rather than students. It's loaded with more fire service history and many more tips and tricks of the trade than essentials. Highly recommend it.

Great book!  
This book has to be, hands down best book to get if you want to know all about Firefighter I.

Excellent  
I found this book very useful. This is an excellent introduction in fire fighting and rescue. In my country (The Czech Republic) some drills, standard operation procedures and organization matters are different, but this publication is still very useful and inspiriting.

Pennsylvania Beware  
DO NOT buy this book if you are in Pennsylvania! The Commonwealth has created their own edition that is similar, but different than this. You will be frustrated in class trying to follow along with this version.
