Airport firefighters, airport driver operators, and airport crew chiefs will use "Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting," Sixth Edition to meet the most current NFPA, FARs, and ICAO requirements.

The book includes:

31 new skill sheets
Photos, illustrations and learning activities
Review questions for all 12 chapters

This book provides the information firefighters need to effectively perform the tasks for aircraft rescue and fire fighting and to complete airport firefighter certification.

The purpose of "Fire and Emergency Services Orientation and Terminology," Sixth Edition is to acquaint new firefighters with the history, traditions, terminology, organization, and operation of the fire and emergency services. In addition, the manual contains typical job and operation descriptions that should provide insight into the inner workings of the fire service. An extensive fire and emergency services glossary is included. The manual is also intended for college students who are beginning their associate's level studies in fire related fields.

The scope of this manual is to meet the learning outcomes of the National Fire Academy (NFA) Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Principles of Emergency Services associate's level course. In addition, information in this manual addresses numerous requisite knowledge items identified in Chapter 5, Fire Fighter I, and Chapter 6, Fire Fighter II, of NFPA^® 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications. The manual is intended to be used in a college classroom, but is also an excellent companion text to IFSTA's "Essentials of Fire Fighting, Sixth Edition" and "Essentials of Fire Fighting and Fire Department Operations, Sixth Edition."

"Building Construction Related to the Fire Service, Fourth Edition" is intended to furnish the reader with basic information about how buildings are designed and constructed. This information will aid in decision making related to fire prevention and fire control. Whether enforcing fire codes, inspecting buildings, developing pre-incident plans, fighting fires, directing fire ground operations, overseeing firefighter safety, or investigating fires, a thorough understanding of building construction principles and practices as these relate to fire behavior and fire load will enable firefighters to make better, safer, and more timely decisions to protect people and property from potential and actual fires. Although this manual is not based on an NFPA^® standard, many principles discussed in this text mirror NFPA^® job performance requirements from standards such as NFPA^® 1001, 1006, 1021, and 1031.

This manual is designed to meet the objectives delineated in the model course outline for Building Construction for Fire Protection as established by the Fires and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) initiative of the United States Fire Administration (USFA)
