5th Essentials of Fire Fighting and Fire Department Operations Manual & Study Guide
- 5th Essentials of Fire Fighting & Fire Department Operations Manual - 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.
- 5th Essentials of Fire Fighting and Fire Department Operations Study Guide - questions contained in this study guide are intended to help students check their own learning progress as they read the book and advance through it or a training course. Questions are provided in a multiple-choice format because it is the most common type of question format used in fire service testing processes. The questions in each chapter are separated into Fire Fighter I and II sections so that students can focus on the level they are currently pursuing. The questions also reference the page where the relevant information may be found in the main manual. The answers are listed in the back of the manual according to chapter and level.
