Strategy of Firefighting
This is a "how to" book written by a "know how" person for anyone who practices firefighting strategy.
Deputy Chief Vincent Dunn is passing on to the next generation of firefighters the lessons he learned from his years of firefighting experience. He describes firefighting strategies for the most common types of fire scenarios and identifies specific firefighting problems presented to an incident commander, by occupancy and construction type. More importantly, he explains firefighting solutions and offers firefighting plans, standard procedures, action plans, ideas, guidelines, explanations, key steps, and systems of firefighting procedures.
This book is not about tactics. It's about strategy—plans of firefighting and logical ways to solve problems at fires.
