Fundamentals of firefighting

[chawch]

I was told about this book, and it is supposed to be far better than the Essentials series.
Has anybody seen or read it?
www.firefighter.jbpub.com
go to instructor resources and then go to sample chapters.
I was told it cost $70
1-800-668-2955 is the # if anybody is interested.

I used both the essentials and fundamentals text for my courses. Found the fundamentals more modern and easier to follow. Also had all the Haz-mat info contained within. It is put out by NFPA so it seems to me that it is up to snuff.

Thanks for the reply! I ordered it hoping it would be easier than going thru all my notes.

I used both as well. I found the pictures (ie. ropes) alot easier to follow. If you look into both you will find the Fundamentals will have a little less info in some of the chapters then essentials. But I liked the Fundamentals alot more.

We use both Essentials of Fire Fighting IV, and Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills. My vote would go to Fundamentals as a better resource reference. Well worth the money spent if you are building a personal reference library as well. ;)

Stay safe !!
