Firefighting: Battlespace Combat: How to Extinguish Fire

by Vincent Dunn

In this third book in his Battlespace series, retired FDNY Deputy Chief delves into strategies and action plans in extinguishing fires. Battlespace Combat is not a book about firefighting tactics; it explains firefighting strategy; describes planning and fire action plans and details how to use plans effectively to effectively manage fire operations. This is a book written specifically for experienced Incident Commanders (ICs) who must plan and direct firefighting operations large and small.
