This is the definitive book about rural firefighting.
It is intended to help rural fire departments examine the fire service of today and see how the department fits into it. It helps determine what is needed to meet the fire protection needs of your community.
The numerous SOPs in the Appendix are tools which the department can use to survey its service area, determine needs, and evaluate the ability to meet those needs.
This text has been expanded with several new chapters on pumps, pump priming and drafting.
