This book returns you to the down and dirty business of fighting fires with his straightforward approach to learning the fundamentals. Rather than focus on a particular trend or technique, Avillo presents the information needed for a solid and safe approach to the fireground.
This text addresses many fire situations to invoke and explain tactics that are relevant to each situation. It is written from the point of view of the fire officer who must identify a strategy, develop an action plan, and implement tactics to meet the objectives of that plan.

It will also allow the tactician to choose proper tactics in a given situation, enhancing the decision-making process on the fireground. It is the intent of this text, through diligent study and lesson reinforcement, to motivate, challenge, and strengthen both the fireground strategist/tactician and/or the promotional candidate.
