Abbreviated
Version of the Firefighters Handbook Covers the Basics of
Firefighting for Fire Service Professionals
By DelMar - Second Edition
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, academics and schools in which hazardous
materials are taught in a separate course with separate learning
materials.
Features:
- a detailed guide links the objectives of
the 2002 edition of the NFPA Standard 1001, the most current
standard, to specific Job Performance Requirements in the text
- dedicated, up-to-the-minute coverage is
given to advances in firefighter safety and operations, focusing
readers on the key principles that are crucial to staying alive
and well in the fire service
