In this book, John "Skip" Coleman takes a comprehensive look at search for the fire service.

Searching Smarter defines the three most common types of search (the standard, oriented, and team search) and applies them to existing common occupancy types (residential and commercial occupancy). It also discusses the relationship between command and other divisions/groups, search basics, and reading buildings for search.

It is an important resource for firefighters riding all apparatus types, company and chief officers, and paid and volunteer firefighters.
