Fire Officer's Handbook of Tactics study Guide
Very informative considering that I have ambitions of becoming an officer someday.It give's you a different perspective about what we do and how to handle situations that we come across from someone else's point of veiw.

Good study guide
I thought that the study guide reinforced what was taught in the hardcover edition. The questions are often seen on promotional tests.

Excelent source for all firefighters!
I can't say enough about how enlightening this book is. Different strategies that apply to all types of firefighting departments, ie rural, urban, suburban, etc. The book reads well and is very informative with hundreds of photos, and diagrams. Many situations encountered and explained. A great book for any firefighter, or officer who wants to improve their skills and those of their engine or truck companies. A must read for any serious fire officer!
