This book reveals all sorts of firefighting operations from a completely new perspective. Things that have been previously taken for granted are called into question. Numerous examples are used to show how the quality of the fire brigade=s work can be substantially improved. The volume is not intended as a textbook, but rather as provocative reading that unsparingly and urgently reveals deficiencies in the way in which operations are conducted. The specific examples and approaches to solutions are easily understood, so that they can be applied during operations.
