Fire Officer: Principles And Practice

Mainly I'll focus on the difference between the Kindle edition and the paper book. All of the material appears to be the same - however, there were a few occasions where changing pages caused the eBook to skip some material. It was there when I went back to search for it, but just going page to page, it was missed.Also, the layout of the paper book is a textbook with small side-notes and such placed within the text. The placement of these sections in the eBook didn't always make sense, or broke up a section of text with an unrelated side-note. The content was all there, but I would say the eBook would benefit from an edit to improve continuity and flow.On the plus side, as in most eBooks, the ability to look up words, make bookmarks, highlight, etc is there and editable, making the electronic form much more useful and usable than a paper book.I now usually obtain electronic copies of books rather than paper, when available. This is another case where, for me, it was the right choice.

This is a very well-organized and well-written text perfect for any firefighter looking to gain the knowledge necessary to begin their professional advancement. Like the IAFC Firefighting skills text, I believe you will find this text to be a better alternative to the IFSTA books we've all used for so long.

Overall, I would say this is a decent text book. Have utilized it for a number of promotional exams. Worth the read.

A MUST FOR FIRE OFFICERS

Struggling throught this book for a promotional exam and it is torture.The book is fine, I just dont like forcing all this info in that I am really not interested in.

I obviously got this book for my company officer class. I thought it was pretty good as it opened my eyes to a few things personality wise that I hadnt thought of.

I didn't read this book by choice. material was dry
