Well this review can't be on the book itself too much. In NJ you need this book to take the Fire Instructor 1 class if you want to be able to take the test to become a certified Fire Instructor. I mean it is a book, it's expensive and it has a lot of information in it. Compared to another Fire Instructor class I took this book has a lot more information in it, but that class was more about giving presentations, and this book is more on the the fundamentals of adult learning. If you did take another instructor class that the DFS in NJ accepts and you are going to try to test out without taking the Fire Instructor 1 class, do yourself a favor and buy this book. The test is from this book, and other classes may not prepare you for the test. Also look for the companion Android Test/Study app and you will not have a problem with the test.For that seasoned firefighter looking to enhance his/her career or for that brand new firefighter, this book is the only one you will need. This takes you step by step on the ends and outs of the fire service. It will teach you everything from ladders, ropes, hose management to customer service and fire prevention. IFSTA is the leader when it comes to writing firefighting material.This book is very good for a fireman looking to move up in their job. Very informativeBrand new book in the plastic. This was exactly what I needed for class. Shipped faster than expected.Book was in decent condition, but not brand new, bent corner and a few pagesGreat book. Just what I needed.The text is pretty dry but YOU HAVE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND the whole thing. Read it twice even. This book can prepare you for one of the hardest tests you'll ever take. You might also want to buy the supplemental workbook.The book was very useful
