Firefighter Exams

This is a very good reference book. My son was in Iraq and he wanted to be a fire fighter, so this was a great book for him. Would buy something from this seller as well.

I was at a point in my life where I was confused and didn't know what exactly I wanted, well I bought this book read it everyday and learned allot about what it is all about to be a fireman. I was heading up to NYC my home town to sign up, but I stuck with developing video games. This book has great information and is definitely used in today's tests, anyone interested in becoming a fire fighter should take a look at this book before any others.

I bought this book along with the Norman Hall book and the combo of the 2 worked well I think (I ended up with a job where I wanted). I took some different tests and for the most part if you study and know basic math, have some basic mechanical aptitude, etc., you should do fine. While Norman Hall's book is definitely more advanced in terms of the mechanic's and math, this is generally in line with what I saw on the test's. Not knowing what is going to be on the test though, I believe that the more info you have, the better, so I would buy both. If it moves you on to the next step, it was worth it.

This is an excellent selection for an aspiring firefighter. The book gives sample tests to test your skills and also will improve your skills in idle areas. My favorite part of the book is the sample test because after taking and grading the test I would know where I stand. And anything I had trouble on I could study up on. It also provides great information on the physical exam and essential guidlines for the content of the physical exam. It will let you train for the specific area's and concentrate on certain criteria. Overall this is an excellent book that will make your chances of becoming a paid firefighter greater.
