Great content!
This book is a great read providing a very technically supported argument for aggressive search and fire attack. The content is great, pulling from a variety of sources, pictures, graphs and experience but is written in technical manner that can sorta slow down reading "fire combatants"= firefighters. The points are all great, but it can be a little clunky to read in some places. Strongly recommend for anyone looking to pull data supporting aggressive competent fireground operations.

A Must Read
Jeff does a great job of explaining what true agressiveness within the fire service is and the importance of it for the citizens that we protect.
