“Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.”
Chief Jim Moore, Crystal Lake Fire Department
I got this book thinking it was different drills to do in training. There are several pages in the back of the book with drill ideas, but the majority of the book is information – which is fine!
The information is current, which means it’s not in textbooks, emphasizing the impact of ventilation and need for coordination between groups and division.
I think my favorite part was how Clark would say something along the lines of “this is how we fought fires for years, because it worked, and then this group came in and said stop…so we did. Now we’re back to what we knew was right to do in the first place…and here’s why.” (That is a serious paraphrase, not a direct quote.)
I recommend this book for firefighters who have been in the field for 5-15 years.
