Firefighting
This was a great read! Nick is a very intelligent fire officer who is able to narrate the concepts and importance of ventilation in a way that a lay person can understand. Having a general knowledge in firefighting will greatly increase what one can take away from this book. I would recommend this book to all new firefighters and mandate it to all truck company personnel if I were a chief officer. This book contains information that a fire officer could use to either brush up on existing knowledge or even learn some new tactics. A recommended read to all in the field.
