"Fire Service Technical Search and Rescue," Eighth Edition is a primary training text for Level I Rescuers according to NFPA^® 1006. The manual presents the knowledge and skills for fire service search and technical rescue for Level I Rescuers to safely and effectively conduct operations-level rescues as defined in NFPA^® 1006. The book also supports the corresponding chapters of NFPA^® 1670, Standard on Operations and Training for Technical Search and Rescue Incidents (2014 Edition). According to NFPA^® 1670, an Operations Level Rescuer is able to participate in more complex search and rescue incidents under the supervision of a Rescue Technician.

Make sure that you have the training and certification needed to provide the best risk reduction to your community. Reducing community risk requires trained individuals to verify that a locality adheres to locally adopted fire and life-safety standards for structural safety components in construction and renovations. "Fire Inspection and Code Enforcement," Eighth Edition provides fire and emergency services personnel and civilian inspectors with the basic information necessary to meet the job performance requirements (JPRs) of NFPA^® 1031 for Level I and Level II Fire Inspectors. Chapters are delineated with two clearly marked sections: the first section for Level I information followed by a second section for Level II information.
