Mainly I'll focus on the difference between the Kindle edition and the paper book. All of the material appears to be the same - however, there were a few occasions where changing pages caused the eBook to skip some material. It was there when I went back to search for it, but just going page to page, it was missed.Also, the layout of the paper book is a textbook with small side-notes and such placed within the text. The placement of these sections in the eBook didn't always make sense, or broke up a section of text with an unrelated side-note. The content was all there, but I would say the eBook would benefit from an edit to improve continuity and flow.On the plus side, as in most eBooks, the ability to look up words, make bookmarks, highlight, etc is there and editable, making the electronic form much more useful and usable than a paper book.I now usually obtain electronic copies of books rather than paper, when available. This is another case where, for me, it was the right choice.
This is a very well-organized and well-written text perfect for any firefighter looking to gain the knowledge necessary to begin their professional advancement. Like the IAFC Firefighting skills text, I believe you will find this text to be a better alternative to the IFSTA books we've all used for so long.
After reviewing the two other books of this type available, this one is by far the best. The chapter on CRM is what makes this one heads and tails above the others. If you are thinking of buying this book to read, don't think about it anymore. Buy it!
As with every text book the material is stay as sand int he desert. I have read plenty of books on leadership that presented the information in a way that doesn't make you wish you were blind! It does present the needed information, it is better than the IFSTA Fire Officers book but is far from an enjoyable read!
Okay book, pretty general information. The Fire and Emergency Services Company Officer book is better. Had to buy this for class, I recommend the above book for more detail and if testing for promotion.
My son needed it for a class he was taking for the National Guard. He found it very useful and insightful.
This was the same book word for word of the last edition. Now I have 2
Being a firefighter isn't so bad...
