"This book is for the CFBT (Flashover) Instructor, Firefighter, Company Officer and Fire Chief. The concept of teaching about 'flashover' using ISO steel shipping containers was developed in Europe - now read how European Instructors teach fire behavior using a vast array of Fire Development Simulators (FDS).
This book will also take you out onto the fire-grounds of London, New York, Madrid, Chicago, Paris, Germany, and Sweden. It will demonstrate how similar fires are fought using different strategic approaches and shows how US and EURO fire-fighting tactics are gradually aligning in many areas. From Tactical ventilation, to Air Management (BA Control), to Rapid Intervention Teams, to high-rise firefighting, to Limited staffing (3-person crew ops); the author brings you the best tactics from Europe & the USA in one training manual!
