"The Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills program serves as an example of the type of professional development tools critical to the advancement of our profession. The WFCA is pleased to acknowledge the continuing contribution NFPA and Jones and Bartlett are making to the educational and training resources available to the fire service community.”

"Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills has been a hit with all of my students. Not only do the students seem excited to learn, but they are passing the tests issued by the State.  Comments that I have gotten from my students include:  'It is so easy to read,' 'The way the book outlines the information makes learning easy,' 'I wish we would have had a book like this when I started my career,' 'This book makes the competition look like it came over on the Ark.' 

The instructor materials make my job easy!  The easy-to-read outlines and the PowerPoint presentations are the best I've seen since I've been teaching.  I am also very pleased with the new DVD set.  These DVD’s are some of the best visual aids on the market.  Even the music gets students excited about learning. 

Thanks and praise should go to the team for developing such high quality books and teaching tools."

"The reviews from the instructors as well as my personal experience Fundamentals were very well received. The information presented is covered much better than in previous manuals. The support from the representatives has also been very good. The fire programs in the state colleges in Minnesota have decided to use these materials. Thanks for your support."

"I have used other textbooks when teaching basic Fire Fighter schools. Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills is by far the best textbook that I have read. It provides a more in-depth description into the course subjects of basic Fire Fighter training. The illustrations are more detailed, which will help to provide students with a better understanding of the subject matter. I feel this manual will greatly help the fire service to advance in its skills and techniques. I highly recommend this manual for teaching basic fire fighters."

"I have reviewed the Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills text, and I can say it truly is a needed training resource that should be used by fire departments and colleges all over for the initial training and continuing education of the professional firefighter.  The text is up-to-date and covers material relevant to today's firefighter.  Another added value is that this text is endorsed by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and National Fire Protection Association.  I am forwarding my comments to my training chief, Assistant Chief, and College faculty in hopes that they will use Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills in the training of our local fire fighters."

"This is a complete text. Nothing is left out or covered lightly. If it was only a book that puts all subjects together under one cover, that would be great. Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills not only has done that, but has done it to a level never before seen in the Fire Service. The lay out, photos, and content are second to none. This book makes the instructor's job easier and more enjoyable to teach. The web site support of the book is a great tool, completely integrated with the book. Thank you for producing such a great training manual for the Fire Service."

"I wanted to tell you a success story with your fire fighter materials. We had a student in Haz Mat combo class who was struggling and would have obviously failed without a great deal of remediation. He had the State’s study guide and was struggling with it. I was able to sit down with him, and using your book, he began to understand the material. He then borrowed my desk copy and went home and completed the study guide. He did pass the final exam and is now certified in Hazardous Materials at the Operational Level. This was a great testament for your materials. Keep up the good work."
