New Fire Service Leadership books

Fire Engineering has just released two new leadership books that are must haves for any personal department library.

The first is Five Alarm Leadership, a combined effort between fire service leaders Rick Lasky and John Salka.

They combine their years of leadership to compile lessons they've learned, scenarios they've encountered, situations they've handled and problems they've solved. The goal is to use their experiences to mold others into better leaders and improve the fire service.

Step Up and Lead shares the knowledge of another wonderful fire service leader, Frank Viscuso.

He shares his secrets of effective leadership, introduces what he considers to the the essential traits and skills of a fire service leader and discusses the importance of customer service in the fire service.

These two titles are among a number of leadership and management books available.

Another highly recommended title is Once Upon A Crisis. This well-written book is an up-close account of surviving loss that takes a good look at post-traumatic stress from the inside out. It is a must read for emergency service workers, those close to them, anyone considering a career in the emergency response field, or anyone trying to overcome personal loss.
