Essentials of Fire Fighting 8th Edition- FF1 (New)

This is the same IFSTA Essentials of Fire Fighting, 8th Edition, Firefighter I content as our other Essentials FF1 listing. It is simply a separate catalogue line, carrying IFSTA item code 37888 and ISBN 9780879397180. SkillsTrain imports and supplies it into Africa for entry level firefighter candidates who need the standalone Firefighter I book rather than the combined Firefighter I and II set.

It gives candidates the information needed to meet the job performance requirements in Chapter 6, Firefighter I, of NFPA 1010, Standard on Professional Qualifications for Firefighters, 2024 Edition. NFPA 1010 is the consolidated standard that pulled several older firefighter qualification numbers into one, which is why IFSTA re-issued Essentials as the 8th Edition and added the option to buy Firefighter I on its own. The book is validated by an IFSTA committee of serving fire service professionals rather than written by a single author, the process that gives the IFSTA manuals their standing as the industry reference for firefighter training.

Essentials 8th carries IFSTA's student focused design, with large text, a single column layout and frequent photos and illustrations, features built to help adult learners retain the material. Candidates who also need hazardous materials awareness and operations level training get that content separately in Hazardous Materials for First Responders, 6th Edition, rather than it being folded into this book.

If your library already stocks the other FF1 listing, you do not need both. Ask SkillsTrain which catalogue line matches your current order or reorder. SkillsTrain supplies this as IFSTA's published work and does not write or accredit it.
