Fire departments have a number of choices when it comes to training. We've touched earlier on recruit and rescue training, so now we want to focus a little on Fire Officer I & II training.
IFSTA has Fire & Emergency Services Company Officer 4th edition. This text is divided into two sections, Fire Officer I and Fire Officer II making it convenient for students to learn from and instructors to teach.

Supplements include a student workbook, software study guide, a Fire Officer I & II Exam Prep book, an instructor's resource CD and an instructor's toolkit CD.
Delmar / Cengage Learning have published Company Officer 2nd edition. This text is designed to instruct both career and volunteer firefighters who seek promotion to fire officer. It also provides important information on how to communicate effectively, provide strong leadership, operate safely on the fire ground, and highlight the skills required for proficiency on the job. Supplements for this text include a CD software and Fire Officer I & II Exam Preparation book.

Firefighter Rescue Books
In the early 1990s the late Ray Downey wrote Rescue Company, drawing on his experience as captain of FDNY's Rescue 2 to instruct on all aspects of rescue. To this day Rescue Company is considered by many essentials to firefighter training.
Now, Chief John Norman builds on Downey's legacy with the brand new Fire Dept. Special Operations. Chief Norman looks to not only cover the gap since The Rescue Company was released, but also guide agencies and individuals in establishing, staffing, operating, and maintaining heavy rescue units in the many forms they may take. This in depth take on rescue company operations is highly recommended for the officers and individuals assigned the duties that a rescue firefighter must accomplish. It can be purchased for $79.00 by calling us at (800) 522-8528 or online at www.fire-police-ems.com.
Chief Norman isn't the only one to publish a recent book on rescue. Jez Hunter and Jones & Bartlett have recently released the Swiftwater and Flood Rescue Field Guide. This $38.95 guide was developed with the special needs of professional rescuers in mind. This compact guide is durable and weather resistant, and provides quick access to rescue techniques and essential information.
Also Jeff Mathews and Delmar have recently released Technical Rescuer: Rope Levels I & II. This rope rescue guide offers detailed instructions on numerous rope rescue techniques and insight on how to apply these techniques effectively on the scene. It includes commonly used knots, practical rigging methods, incident and scene management, lowering systems, tensioned rope system and more, and retails for $60.95.
There been much more written about all forms of rescue. A listing of all rescue books we are carrying can be found here. We also have a listing of specialized and technical rescue books. And of course there is more on the way with Jones & Bartlett announcing they are producing a new Rescue Series, developed by Safety Solutions Inc. and also releasing the Fundamentals of Technical Rescue later this year.
Fire Engineering also has a number of rescue related books and DVDs, as does IFSTA and Delmar/Cengage. And if you are looking for something in particular and can't find it on our website, give us a call or drop us an email at support@fire-police-ems.com and we'll try to help.
And since we mentioned John Norman earlier, just a quick note that Fire Engineering has released the next two DVDs in the Fire Officer's Handbook of Tactics Series, #9 Forcible Entry and #10 Ventilation. Three more DVDs are scheduled for later this year.
