helpful

The book was well written and easy to read. I found it helpful in my safety officer class.

Lessons forgotten or never taught

I found this book very informative, ignore Safety-Command's review. I attended David Dodson's 16 hour class during the FDIC conference in Indianapolis in 2005. The class was an overview of the book and the more important skill of learning to read smoke. Mr. Dodson also taught an Art of Reading Smoke class that was attended by over 1,000 people. This book is the basis for the FDSOA certification test. It is a must read for any Department who has not established procedures for implementing a scene safety officer. Read and learn. The book is simplified to better understand and function in the role of a Safety Officer.

well presented to the point text

The author documents the duties and responsibilities of theincident scene safety officer . in an understandable way , Great book.
