It discusses such topics as fire scene incident command, safety and accountability, vehicle placement and operations, hoseline placement, use of portable ladders, building construction, water supply, search and rescue, officer development covering strategy and tactics, radio communication and fire department policies and procedures, and SOPs and best practices.
