4Significantly Improved from 3rd Edition  Mar 27, 2000
The 4th edition is much more current about methods and techniques than the 3rd edition. Materials covered span various types of tools and techniques that may be used to perform specific activities (i.e., ventilation). The description of understanding necessary for satisfactory completion of the certification exams is clearly written. Additionally, everyone who plans to pursue Fire Fighter certification in Pa. should use the 4th Ed. of "Essentials" because it has been selected as the reference for all testing.

3Good Introduction to needed skills  Mar 25, 2000 By David Barr "dafydd"
The Fourth Edition of IFSTA Essentials is very different from the third edition. Fourth Edition depends more on tables and pictures, and less on text. Thus, in more or less the same number of pages, the reader gets a wider view of the tasks performed by firefighters, but doesn't get as much depth into any one topic. Readers familiar with the Third Edition (like me) will feel something is missing or has been glossed over. Readers without that background will gain a good basic knowledge of the skillset used in the fire service.

5Firefighter Review  Apr 22, 2002
The book is excellent in its layout. Is easy to follow and is a very imformative piece of necessary literature for any firefighter taking firefighter 1. Is very informative on NFPA regulations and guidelines. I was impressed with the detail that was given in the book, our instructor was impressed with this book as well.

5Building Block for all levels of firefighting.  Apr 12, 2001 By William J. Hoffman
After studying this well written publication from front to back I can professionally say that all NFPA standards are demonstrated and tactfully explained. All levels of firefighters can use the information in this fine book to build on from "rookie" up to "Chief". The book has easy to read and follow information, and very basic graphics and easy to comprehend diagrams. As an instructor I can not recommend a better textbook for the modern firefighter.
