Reviews

The only firefighters who really have no need to read this book are the ones with the capability to hold their breath for twenty minutes. And while doing so, attempt to somehow make an escape through the most terrifying hazard zone/obstacle course that exceeds any situation imaginable, where losers end up in a body bag. Everyone else had better read, heed, and practice what is written here. <br> <br> <br>--Chief Alan Brunacini
