There is a reason this is considered the "bible" of firefighting. IFSTA has been doing it longer then others and the quality of material shows it. As an instructor I've used and reviewed the other companies out there and I always go back to IFSTA. This book is an excellent choice for those getting into the fire service as well as those in the service looking to brush up. Highly recommend.

This book covers the basics as we teach new personnel in our fire agency. This is the bible we use for fire fighting at the basic functional level. You can delve deeper into some of the topics if desired, but this gives the basic recruit the knowledge and ability/practice to do the job safely and efficiently. Specialize later, but get the basics down first. I always learn something from the classes I teach, and this is the required text for my fire classes.

Much bigger book than I thought, however my son can't put it down. This book has everything about firefighting from day 1 to getting hired. Great book!

Book I'm using for FF1 Academy, its nice because I can use the same book for FF2 Academy. Some chapters share material for both FF1/FF2 and are clearly delineated by markers on the page corner (that means when I finish the FF1 material Im not accidently reading FF2 stuff).

I begun my volunteer firefighter training recently. The training is introductory in nature. This book helps to fill in the gaps and accelerate my knowledge in many aspects of firefighting. For such a complete book, the price is more than worth it.

By far the best fire fighting books I have read are the Essential of Firefighting books as I now own 3 editions of them. They have a good overview of information, buy it, read it, study it, understand it. You won't regret it.

This is by far the most concise textbook for firefighting. Every respectable aspect is covered. The quality the in the literature by far surpasses everything that I have seen out in the market. Well, worth the price - you won't disagree.

I am the training officer for our department and it seems to me that sometimes the change the book just to sell more books. Other than that if you want to join the fire service this is a must have book. Boring read.
