Descrição do livro

Fire Service Officer: Modern Principles and Practice
By Doug C. Grady

Fire Service Officer: Modern Principles and Practice prepares today's firefighters for genuine leadership, command, and administration in the modern fire service, built on a story instructors and students alike will recognize immediately. In January 2025, author Doug C. Grady commanded companies through the Southern California wildfires that outpaced every conventional tactic he had trusted across nearly two decades of service. This book translates that hard-earned recognition, that traditional firefighting tactics are no longer sufficient against the modern mega-fire, into a complete, standards-driven framework for the fire service officer of today.

Written to reflect NFPA 1020, Standard for Fire and Emergency Services Instructor, Fire Officer, and Emergency Medical Services Officer Professional Qualifications, 2025 Edition, and grounded in incident management doctrine used across the United States fire service, this 17-chapter manual carries a newly promoted officer from the first day in rank through a complete career, into chief officer responsibility.

Every chapter includes:

  • Clear learning objectives stated up front
  • Full explanatory content grounded in current standards and doctrine
  • Multiple realistic scenario applications with recommended approaches
  • A chapter summary
  • Discussion and practice questions built to develop genuine judgment, not simple recall

What sets this book apart:

  • A single, continuous framework spanning the full arc of fire service leadership, from first promotion through retirement planning
  • Fifty original diagrams illustrating core frameworks, from the risk-benefit decision matrix to incident command structure
  • Extensive, standalone treatment of budgeting, resource management, and evidence-based advocacy
  • Dedicated chapters on policy, labor relations, and legal responsibility, including Garrity protections and firefighter procedural rights
  • Pre-incident planning and community risk reduction treated as one unified, evidence-based discipline
  • A complete glossary of key terms for fast reference
