Structural Firefighting: Strategy and Tactics, Fourth Edition prepares the fire officer to take command at structure fires, effectively using available resources. This text provides the necessary tools to achieve maximum productivity under adverse fireground conditions, and it’s designed for use by all fire officers, from company officer to the chief of the department. It references National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) fire investigations, applicable NFPA statistics and standards, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Firefighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program, and the Technical Report Series from the U.S. Fire Administration. It has been expanded to include information from recent studies by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and others.
