Invaluable collection of stories full of advice from seasoned veterans and really smart new guys. A must have for the library of all firefighters that want to learn and grow. Not much more to say, this is just a collection of short write ups from people from all over the fire department world. Quick and easy read. Most bits of advice are only a few pages long, so you can start and stop at easy intervals.

An excellent sequel to the first book. If you're interested in furthering your career in the fire service (as opposed to waiting until someone else notices you and decides to do it for you - which is not going to happen), you should read this book. If you want to be a better firefighter, a safer firefighter, if you want to make it to be an old firefighter, you should read this book.
