Preventing Firefighter Disorientation: Enclosed Structure Tactics for the Fire Service

In his first book, William R. Mora, a 30-year fire service veteran and fire safety advocate, discusses how to prevent traumatic structural firefighter fatalities. Firefighter disorientation is defined as “the loss of direction due to the lack of vision in a structure fire.” To combat this problem, Mora outlines a multipronged approach to effectively address the causes of disorientation and structural firefighter fatalities. This text includes many real-world case studies and guidelines for size-up factors and is a vital resource for all firefighters.
