As you read Coordinating Ventilation, Nicholas Papa not only shares his knowledge and experience, but the credible experiences of fire service professionals who have practiced the successes and failures of ventilation as to what is appropriate to the how, when, where, and why. Nicholas provides you with an understanding that would take a career to fully comprehend the meaning of that. --Gerald Jerry Tracy Nick Papa does a fantastic job of taking scientific concepts and language and making them understandable in execution on the fireground. This is not an easy task. I highly recommend this book as a practical application tool for the coordination of tactical objectives on the fireground. --Chris Stewart Nick Papa left me with an immediate impression of a street-smart firefighter and an educator who gets fire behaviour in the most realistic of terms. He imparts his messages through golden tactical nuggets learned, not only through intensive study, but also with practical, first-hand experience.
