Sooner or later, police officers and firefighters will inevitably have to combine their skills when responding to various emergency situations throughout their careers. At that point, a police officer's basic knowledge of fire safety will be essential, helping to prevent actions that could be dangerous or inappropriate depending on the circumstances.

This book brings together fundamental fire-related principles that are useful in police work, such as recognizing different specialized teams and types of technical rescues including rope and vertical rescues, understanding best practices for vehicle extrication and incidents involving hazardous materials, identifying fuels and heat sources that can cause fires, distinguishing the different phases of a fire, knowing the various types and classes of fire extinguishers, and responding to fires whether or not electricity is involved, along with many other essential topics.

Mastering the concepts presented in this book will enable police officers to respond safely and appropriately in pursuit of a common goal they share with firefighters: ensuring public safety.
