Every firefighter has heard about the “new fire science” but until now most programs have either been focused more on the numbers and the science than on the tactics and operations or they present everything in bits and pieces, addressing one aspect or another, not quite giving the big picture. This collection of resources uses a straight forward approach to show how officers, Chiefs and firefighters can use new information to give more options, not less. Honoring the traditions that keep our fire service great, these resources shows how to use modern fire tactics to be an effective, aggressive department, even if you can’t expect 8 engines, 4 truck companies and a rescue at every fire.
