The book arrived as scheduled, but it looked like it had been tossed around a lot. The spine was smashed and wrinkled and a lot of the pages were folded.
The bible of the Fire Service (2009-03-03) : 5/5
As we all know, over the years any Essentials to Firefighting manual has pretty much been the bible to the fire service. When I started my career in 1995 the 3rd edition was out. I recently purchased this 5th edition Essentials with the extra 3 chapters. This edition, which still has all the information I learned from earlier editions, is loaded with alot more advanced, detailed pertinent information. It puts things in perspective 10x better and with the rapid growing fire service, we don't just fight fires any more, the Haz-Mat and Emergency Care chapters are excellent and deals with these issues as related to the fire service. I purchased this edition kind of a refresher after almost 14 years in the business and it has helped me immensly with promotional exams as well. The 5th edition is second to none!
