Author: J.Curtis Varone

Written by a lawyer who is also an experienced firefighter, this book examines the most challenging legal issues confronting firefighters and emergency service personnel today. Readers will explore such major legal concerns as fire service liability issues, the jurisdiction of OSHA over fire departments, the applicability of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, search and seizure, employment discrimination, residency requirements, sexual harassment, and more.

Many of the most significant fires of the past century are also discussed, along with the cases and legal battles that ensued, so readers can make important connections between past events and the legal concepts facing emergency responders today.

  • Follows the National Fire Academy's FESHE course objectives for Legal Aspects of the Fire Service
  • An accompanying e.resource contains Lesson Plans, PowerPoint, a Testbank, and a Correlation Grid to the NFA's FESHE course objectives for Legal Aspects of the Fire Service
