Essential information for all fire fighters
Working fire fighters can't read this book without feeling both more confident (from their increased knowledge) and more frightened (from realizing how much they DIDN'T know before). While some of the author's "tactical considerations" and advice on actual fireground operations are kind of silly, his knowledge of building construction is vast and he's able to communicate in non-technical, plain English. I learned a lot from this book, and would recommended to any fire fighter.

ALL FIREFIGHTERS , ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR LIBRARY!!
FRANK DOES IT AGAIN, EXTREMELY WELL WRITTEN ,FRANK WRITES FROM HIS PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS AND DETAILS ACTUAL CATASTROPHIC FIRES ALONG THE WAY, YOU WILL NOT WANT TO PUT THIS ONE DOWN..... IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE!!

THE book for the Fire Service.
This should be required reading for anyone in the fire service who deals with Structural fire fighting. The book is pretty straight forward and in an easy to read font. I love this book. It also has a pretty decent index if you're using it for school. Out of all the books I've had to buy for school so far, this is the best one. If you're a fan of Brunacini, you may find a few points where they disagree, thus creating the great debate between which author is right. The principles of this book are easily put to use in day to day firefighting and could possibly save your life.
