Pumps and Water Systems for Firefighters: What you need to know at 3 a.m. in a snowstorm

Aimed at firefighters in rural and small departments, or as a first lesson for those in training to run a pumper in larger departments, this book offers detailed instruction in how pumps, water systems and pumpers work. Illustrated with numerous line drawings and written in humorous, non-technical language, the purpose is to provide basic insight into the thing a firefighter needs most to know: How to put the wet stuff on the red stuff.
