Engine Company Fireground Operations

A great book, packed with the expertise needed to make the right decisions in the field, and a great way to think outside the box.

Great book. Very informative and useful in studying for promotional exams.

This is written more like a ranting blogger than a educational document. At one point it advises readers to use a chainsaw to cut the bottom of a door off so the hose can get underneath. It also tells us fires are not ventilation limited but oxygen limited and then continues for the rest of the book to call it ventilation limited. Very Repatative. Nfpa 🗑

Tone of the book is very “go inside and you’ll die” but there’s some decent nuggets of info here and there.

This book has grammatical and factorial errors throughout. It is overly wordy in some areas, but it has incomplete sentences in others. Also, the author contradicts himself on numerous occasions. Do not buy this book unless you're forced to read it!

This is by far the worst piece of “literature” I’ve ever been forced to read. Repetitive, contradicting, wasteful garbage. It’s demeaning to fire fighters and repulsive that this is on a required reading list for a promotional exam. If I could, I’d leave 0 stars. I want my money back. Horrible piece of trash.

This book is horribly written. It is full of contradictions, personal opinions, and advertisements for for fancy, expensive equipment that engine companies and departments don't have the space or budget for. Additionally, he pretends to be a chemist while making false statements such as "matter can be destroyed," which the Law of Conservation of Mass says it cannot. The shilling of highly situational nozzles is especially egregious because so much of the book is devoted to it. This book should not be on any promotional list and I'd be curious to know who was paid off to have it put on there.

I am reading this book to prepare for a promotional exam ( not by choice, it’s being forced down my throat from the civil service reading list. It is absolutely painful to read. It is almost if the author, Raul Angulo, was paid by the word. If that’s the case, he must be a millionaire. Here is an idea Mr Angulo, follow the advice that you give regarding radio reports, be concise. Sometimes repeating information is necessary, but in this book you find information being repeated in the very next paragraph constantly. There are entire chapters that could be eliminated because the same information exists in previous chapters. On April 27th this book will go right in the trash where it belongs, it’s not even worth reselling
