A simple look at a complex subject

Firefighting is a serious undertaking. It is best done by people who know what they are doing. In this text, I have set down the wisdom that I spent 30-plus years accumulating. My theory revolves around an eight-step method of assessing a fire potential, and developing an attack capable of controlling the situation at. The principles of this text are summed up in the eight steps which form my core philosophy.1. What have I got? 2. Where is it? 3. Where is it going? 4. What have I got to stop it? 5. What do I do? 6. Where can I get more help? 7. How am I doing? 8. Can I terminate?A series of thoughts and check lists lie under each of the core questions. The object is to create a basic thinking process that will help you handle a wide range of incidents.We have used a great many illustrations to show you what you may face. And there are a number of practical clues to operating on the fire ground.Carter's Hoseline Hints Carter's Engine Company TipsCarter's Truck Company TipsIn a world driven by incident management, I have written a text which tells you how to fight fire.
