Fire Command 2nd ed. Text, Alan Brunacini, 2002
15 years more fireground experience makes this 2nd edition of Brunacini's classic text more powerful and relevant than ever for today's firefighters!
Learn the Incident Management System through the eyes of the Incident Commander -- as only Fire Chief Alan Brunacini can teach it in Fire Command! Using his characteristically engaging and street-smart style, he mixes hard-hitting practical information and strategies with humorous anecdotes to present a structured systematic approach to incident management that is easy to understand and relate to.
A winning combination of proven tactics plus new coverage of timely topics! The vast majority of the original Fire Command content is still here, including an entire chapter on each of the eight command functions plus added material based on experiences and lessons of the past 15 years.
For the first time, the book discusses the critical question of command safety and how it connects to the functions of command, including deployment, and explains important concepts such as the "2 in/2 out" rule, Rapid Intervention Crews, and mayday operations.
The basic approach and original material has been strengthened and expanded to be compatible with the National Fire Service Incident Management System Consortium's format and approach.
A shift from victim to customer-oriented service delivery strengthens the ability to adapt the incident management system to respond to customer needs and more effectively supports department members.
Sharpen your skills with advice from the nation's top authority on fireground command!
