All of the focus is on developing skills and tactics. And even though those tools allow a firefighter to be successful at the scene of an emergency, very few rookies understand what is expected of them when they show up to the station for their first shift. There is little to no rookie expectation training and many probationary firefighters are not able to learn their role in the firehouse fast enough. This leads to added stress, issues during probation, and possibly even termination for those who can’t keep up.”—§—Don’t enter your hard-earned career blind!Read The Game—be prepared!

Lots of good information! As a future firefighter I plan on keeping this book around while I’m a rookie to look back in when needed.

This is such a slapdash book. Sure it has good pointers and advice for an absolute rookie, but most things in here would be learned in an academy. The book can be read in a hour
