Safe Firefighting Vol. 1: First Things First w/ Student DVD, Steve Kidd, John Czajkowski, Garry Briese, McGraw Hill, 2008
Safe Firefighting: First Things First, is the initial orientation and training for volunteer firefighters who will not be going inside to fight a structure fire. It will empower the volunteer firefighter with the ability to assist on most exterior firefighting and emergency rescue operations.
At this level, the firefighter will need tight supervision and will only have the capabilities to assist the next two levels of firefighters trained in this program.
By providing condensed entry-level training to the newest firefighter recruit, the fire department can get personnel safely involved in some fire department emergency operations sooner, while you complete your more advanced training.
What doesn’t matter: How a smoke detector works and what the inside of a hydrant looks like. This can be important info and may be worthwhile to know, but this info won't save your life as a firefighter.
This approach is a great help for fire departments that are in dire need of personnel, particularly volunteer departments.
Student DVD of firefighting skills packaged in the back of the text contains more than 100 essential skills demonstrated by video. Digital flashcards are also included.
