IFSTA/FPP and Brady, the leading publisher of EMS training materials, have partnered to bring you an expanded version of IFSTA’s classic Essentials of Fire Fighting manual. Essentials of Fire Fighting and Fire Department Operations contains the exact same 20 chapters as the basic Essentials of Fire Fighting manual, plus additional chapters on first aid and hazardous materials response. These additional chapters allow firefighters to have the information they need to meet all of the requirements for Fire Fighter I and II Levels of NFPA 1001 (2008 edition), not just the fire fighting requirements that are addressed in the basic version of Essentials of Fire Fighting.
The first aid information in this text is provided by Brady, whose various EMS texts are the industry standard. The hazardous material information is adapted from IFSTA’s Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP)-approved Hazardous Materials for First Responders manual and is intended to prepare firefighters to meet NFPA 472, Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents, and OSHA 1910.120 requirements for first responders at the Awareness and Operations Levels. These bonus chapters also include skill sheets and all of the other features of the chapters in the basic fire fighting sections of the manual. This manual is, by far, the most comprehensive basic firefighter training text ever developed.
Each manual includes a bonus CD-ROM that provides additional learning materials, case studies, animations, and learning activities. |
