Association®, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs have

Safety Is Fundamentals!
The Second Edition
features a laser-like focus on fire fighter injury prevention,
including a dedicated chapter on safety. Reducing fire fighter injuries
and deaths requires the dedicated efforts of every fire fighter, of
every fire department, and of the entire fire community working
together. It is with this goal in mind that we have integrated the 16
Fire Fighter Life Safety Initiatives developed by the National Fallen
Fire Fighter Foundation into Chapter 2, Fire Fighter Safety. In most of
the chapters, actual National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System
cases are discussed to drive home important points about safety and the
lessons learned from those real-life incidents. It is our profound hope
that this textbook will contribute to the goal of reducing line-of-duty
deaths by 25 percent in the next 5 years.
Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, Second Edition
thoroughly supports instructors and prepares students for the job. This
one-volume text meets and exceeds the Fire Fighter I and II
professional qualifications levels as outlined in the 2008 edition of
NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications. It also covers all of the Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) listed in the 2008 edition of NFPA 472, Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents,
at the awareness and operations levels, including Section 6.2,
Mission-Specific Competencies: Personal Protective Equipment and
Section 6.6, Mission-Specific Competencies: Product Control.
