Firefighter's Handbook: Basic Essentials of Firefighting

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.
