Ladder Company Fireground Operations, 3rd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 3rd Edition has some updating from the venerable 2nd Edition. The logical and easy-to-read format is refreshing. I feel, however, that the update should have included photographs...the 3rd Edition still uses drawings. Modern fire service professionals are looking for something more than this. In all, it is a good resource from which to base Truck Company SOP's, but falls short in polish and content related to modern ventilation principles and forcible entry techniques. Perhaps a companion video would have helped.

One hot fireman, one bossy Irish Setter'one woman whose dreams are about to come true'When Amber Bailey inherits her estranged aunt's old house, she's sure it'll be the perfect spot to open her pet daycare business and settle into a life her family will finally approve of. What she doesn't count on is the cold shoulder she gets from her neighbors whenever she mentions her aunt's name, or having to get a safety inspection on the old house before she can get a business license. Whoever heard of building inspections for a glorified dog house?Gregg McKee runs his life the same way he runs the fire department'full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes. He didn't even mind the angry calls from the neighbors about the crazy animal lady stuck in the tree-pulling her out gave him the perfect excuse to turn on the charm. But when she doesn't follow through on fixing a code violation he issued, he realizes he might lose her forever. What's he supposed to do with a woman too stubborn and independent for her own good?
