Book Reviews of Fire Suppression Practices and Procedures (2nd Edition) (Brady Fire)

Book Review: A Great Foundation
Summary: 4 Stars

Author, Eugene Mahoney, brilliantly covers all areas of fire suppresion in a logical sequence. The book opens discussing "Fire Chemistry and Behavior." This first chapter briefly reviews the fire triangle, stages of fire, and fire phenomena (backdrafts, flashovers, and rollovers). The second chapter focuses on the responsibility of size up. Chapters three through five breaks up operations on the Engine, Truck, and Salvage companies. Chapter 6 covers "Basic Firefighting Tactics," including locating the fire, confining the fire, and extinguishing the fire. Fire command and the ICS system are covered in detail in Chapter 7. Mahoney concludes by covering in detail, suppression of fires in buildings, mobile equipment, and miscellaneous fires.

I would recommend this book be part of every firefighters library. A great reference book, especially useful for promotional testing.
