5Back to the Basics!  Dec 30, 2007 By Ray M. Mcgillivray
Well it's finally here! The long awaited 5th edition. It was worth the wait. They went back to the basics and didn't miss a beat. All the things they took out of the 4th edition are back plus more and it's well explained. They covered each subject in more depth than ever before. In this particular edition they added first aid for firefighters and Haz-mat/Decon. You won't be a Haz-mat tech or an EMT after reading it but it covers enough. It's pricier than earlier editions but it comes with its own study guide on CD. Well worth the price. The other edition only covers the firefighting aspect without the first aid and haz-mat. Go out and get yours today! You won't be disappointed.

5IFSTA 5E Reveiw  May 03, 2008 By Douglas J. Neath "Ditch Doctor Doug"
Nicely done!
After reading through this book one will know there's more to firefighting than putting the wet stuff on the hot stuff!
This book is divided into sensible segments and all the information is pertinent to the tasks at hand!
An excellent tool for training!

5Serious Materials for Fire Service  May 31, 2008 By Kris M. Pelster "fire from within"
I am very pleased with IFSTA's new Essentials book. The updated material, pictures and sections have taken this fire training manual to another level. This is the book for you if you are serious about learning NFPA standards and common fire service strategies and tactics.

5The bible of the Fire Service  Mar 03, 2009 By Shon W. Randles
As we all know, over the years any Essentials to Firefighting manual has pretty much been the bible to the fire service. When I started my career in 1995 the 3rd edition was out. I recently purchased this 5th edition Essentials with the extra 3 chapters. This edition, which still has all the information I learned from earlier editions, is loaded with alot more advanced, detailed pertinent information. It puts things in perspective 10x better and with the rapid growing fire service, we don't just fight fires any more, the Haz-Mat and Emergency Care chapters are excellent and deals with these issues as related to the fire service. I purchased this edition kind of a refresher after almost 14 years in the business and it has helped me immensly with promotional exams as well. The 5th edition is second to none!
