Firefighter I & II Training

Starting your firefighters off on the right foot is a key to building a successful department. IFSTA, Brady and Jones & Bartlett have all updated their Firefighter I & II texts recently to provide the most up to date training possible, meeting the 2013 NFPA 1001. Delmar/Cengage Learning should also have a new edition available in the near future.

We wanted to highlight some of the key features of the new books.

IFSTA's Essentials of Fire Fighting 6/e features:

• Content Separation – Firefighter I and II content is clearly identified and separated in each chapter for ease of teaching and learning.
• Research-Driven Content – Updates to content, skills and tactics reflect the most current research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and others.
• Student-Focused Design – High quality photos and illustrations emphasize the chapter content. Engaging graphics reinforce the sequence of each skill to ensure mastery is achieved safely. Key terms are clearly identified in the margins for ease of use and comprehension.

It totals up to 21 chapters (click link above for full list) and 1400 pages. IFSTA and Brady have also collaborated once again of the Essentials of Fire Fighting and Fire Department Operations which includes added chapters on Emergency Medical Care and HazMat.

Jones & Bartlett's new Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills 3/e features:
