In the second edition of Incident Management for the Street-Smart Fire Officer, author Skip Coleman expands on the mindset and tactics necessary to manage the fireground with more control and less chaos. Incident management system (IMS) is a tool that defines the role and responsibilities of each fire department member, allowing crew members to function quickly and efficiently upon arrival at the firegroundall the while meeting the commanders expectations. Regardless of the size or geographic location of fire department, an IMS is one of the most practical innovations available that yields measurable results. The days of chief officers pulling up to a fire and allowing the fire to run them are over. Incident management makes thinkers out of commanders.

One only needs to pick up their local newspaper to see that there is an increase in racially motivated crimes, hate crimes, officer-involved shootings, and large-scale domestic quarrels in recent times. Firefighters responding to medical aid calls or calls for assistance in such hostile environments are finding their safety compromised. The purpose of this research paper was to research operational considerations regarding responses into hostile environments and develop a set of guidelines for operating in those situations.

Bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Do you have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to evaluate behavior, performance, and readiness? Read Mastering the Fire Service Assessment Center to identify what you need to learn and understand how to learn it. There is no way you can read and reflect on the wisdom in these pages and not become a better person and a better firefighter. Why Read This Book? The American fire service is facing a new normal fueled by mass exodus, influx of new generations of firefighters, a lack of hands-on leadership training, sweeping changes in mission, decimated budgets, and the genetics of task-oriented, reactive forefathers. The greatest and perhaps only area that we can affect directly is hands-on, inspiring, realistic, and useful training for our aspiring and incumbent leaders. This book will help you regardless of the fire officer rank you seek. It will help you know where you need to improve, how to develop a specific personal plan to become an excellent officer, and how to do well with whatever assessment center exercises throw at you. NEW MATERIAL in this second edition: --Enjoy reading “Wisdom from the Masters” from 18 fire service luminaries. They provide invaluable insights and challenges you will face as you prepare to promote, whether for the first time as a company officer or up the chain as a chief officer. --Learn lessons from thousands of students from the past 12 years whose feedback will benefit you in this second edition. --Benefit from the many new elements in this book, including relevant articles, additional exercises, and content regarding the dimensions of leadership, management, and emergency operations. The complexities of being a fire officer in the 21st century require an undercurrent of humility while continually pursuing mastery of leading in the modern fire service. Learn how to lead the modern-day firefighter in a modern world, with modern technology, modern fire behavior, and modern sociopolitical and economic challenges. Many firefighters ask themselves if they really want to do this job, but nothing is as professionally rewarding and challenging as leading others in battle to save lives! “This book will give you the greatest probability of success in your assessment center process.” —Bobby Halton, editor-in-chief, Fire Engineering magazine

FDNY, Engine 313 and Hook and Ladder 164 chronicles a firehouse in the proudest fire department in America. This book weaves together stories of heroic firefighters and fires and how the FDNY operated in the 1950's. The calls, fires and fireman are all real. The book explores the firemen's world, from firehouse life to heroism and tragedy. It shows the love of their work, their family-like camaraderie, amusing stories, their helping people in peril and saving lives. This book is as moving as it is informative. The determined firefighters never hesitated to battle the flames and rescue the victims often using the most rudimentary equipment and barely protected from the flames, without masks and wearing rubber coats. Chapters include establishing the firehouse, the officers and men, the apparatus and equipment, firehouse life, early FDNY cartoons, firefighter deaths, runs and workers and firefighting today. There are many wonderful black and white vintage photographs and moving stories from firefighters themselves, which captures the spirit of this historic firehouse. It is written in a down-to-earth style, and that makes for a good easy read. They are called "the Bravest" the men who put themselves on the line every day to save lives, and this is a great story of their history. This book is a gem, a must read for anyone interested in the fire service.
