Since the 1st edition of Essentials of Fire Fighting was released in 1978, more than 2 million firefighters have been trained by this manual. That is why this manual is commonly referred to as “the Bible” on basic firefighter skills, and its information is commonly accepted as the standard for fire fighting knowledge and skills in North America and beyond.
This 5th edition represents a complete revision of this text to include the latest information on safe and proper basic fire fighting techniques. This manual includes all of the information needed to meet the fire fighting requirements for National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications, (2008 edition), Fire Fighter Levels I and II. All photographs and illustrations are in full-color. This manual includes key terms, definitions, and other important features located throughout each chapter. Case histories are used to illustrate the concepts of each chapter. Skill sheets are included to cover psychomotor learning objectives. Review questions are given at the end of each chapter. Each manual includes a bonus CD-ROM that provides additional learning materials, case studies, animations, and learning activities.
