This text is to be used as both a guide for the fireground strategist/tactician and the promotional candidate in preparing for a written exam. There are text and short answer questions as well as multiple choice scenarios, which are used by many testing authorities today. Each answer is explained in depth to help the reader understand the reason for the strategy or tactic presented. This text uses case studies extensively to drive points home. The text will allow the strategist to make decisions about such activities as line placement, ventilation considerations, and resource distribution, among other things. It will also allow the tactician to choose proper tactics in a given situation, enhancing the decision-making process on the fireground. It is the intent of this text, through diligent study and lesson reinforcement, to motivate, challenge, and strengthen both the fireground strategist/tactician and/or the promotional candidate.

In this Tactical Perspectives DVD series, Frank Ricci and other notable instructors look at command, search, ventilation, and fire attack at residential fires using the same structure. In DVD #1: Command, Lt. Ricci and Anthony Avillo illustrate the perspective of command. They outline the need for planning to avoid issues, size-up to address problems on the fireground, and important tactical considerations during the execution of command. From the command tactical perspective, they then review the issues involved in a room-and-contents fire, an attic fire, ad a basement fire.

Used together, Fireground Strategies and the Scenarios Workbook provide reinforcing guides for assuming a role on the fireground and making decisions aimed at bringing the incident to a safe and successful conclusion. The new third edition includes expanded incident command chapters, new street-level strategies focusing on the modern fire environment, the latest attack/ventilation study information, expanded resource management and risk management sections, strategic considerations of solar panels, new case studies, and more!

This new edition of the Scenarios Workbook is a must-have companion to the third edition of Fireground Strategies.

It contains both short-answer questions as well as multiple-choice to reinforce the lessons learned in the book.

Full-Contact Leadership is written for men and women who hold leadership positions or aspire to leadership roles in the fire service. There are many leadership positions in the fire service, but not all of them are held by leaders. Leadership has very little to do with the color of your helmet, the bling on your collar, the stripes on your sleeve, the title on your door, the order of march, or the crease in your pants. Full-contact leadership is a commitment to drawing out the very best within others and allowing the very best in others to be expressed as excellence. Full-contact leadership is a career-long, ever-challenging, never-ending, self-initiated, self-sustained personal research, development, and improvement program. Full-contact leadership is never about you; it’s always about them. In Full-Contact Leadership, Chiefs Flood and Avillo examine what makes a leader and, more importantly, what makes a leader effective in today’s fire service. This text discusses the various types of leaders, how they communicate, discipline, delegate, motivate, and set expectations for the people they lead. Flood and Avillo also take a hard look at what hinders or blocks effective leadership and what steps to take to foster and instill leadership in your department.
