Description:

This innovative book answers the call of departments and training centers for more options when selecting materials for firefighter certification classes. This new briefer version of Delmar Learning's Firefighter's Handbook features important and up-to-date information for fire service professionals without the related topic of hazardous materials. It covers the critical details that apply to the job of today's firefighter and meets the requirements of the 2002 edition of NFPA standard 1001, when taught in conjunction with a Hazmat course meeting NFPA standard 472 Ops+ level. The book is a lower cost resource for fire departments, academies and schools in which hazardous materials are taught in a separate course with separate learning materials.

Features:

  • a detailed guide links the objectives of the 2002 edition of the NFPA Standard 1001, the most current standard, to specific Job Performance Requirements in the text
  • dedicated, up-to-the-minute coverage is given to advances in firefighter safety and operations, focusing readers on the key principles that are crucial to staying alive and well in the fire service
  • enhancements include discussions of new technology concerning communication systems and the latest in thermal imaging to keep pace with important developments affecting the fire service today
  • "Street Stories" appear at the beginning of each chapter, providing valuable insight from experienced firefighters from across the nation
