Collapse of Burning Buildings: A Guide to Fireground Safety

Great, possibly life saving information. Short, to the point. I wish all required fire service books were written in the style of Chief Dunn! Thank you Chief!

A must read for any Firefighter.

Even if you have read (and reread) the first edition of this book, buy this and read it again. Should be on every officer exam reading list. Well written and so informative.

amazing book and the way its written keeps you into it... learned alot

I enjoyed reading Vincent Dunn's second edition. The first and second edition were both written in a straight foward style without trying to over complicate basic notions and without including irrelevant information. In the second edition, I found it interesting to see a slight philosophical transformation towards giving defensive attacks more consideration and attention as a viable option...with emphasis on safety and conveying what is truly important in the grand scheme. Unfortunately, this book has an abundance of grammatical and punctuation errors...which makes reading into a choppy slow process. Poor editing is my only complaint. However, I am still an advocate of Vincent Dunn's thoughts and tactics.

Good information for any firefighter. Sometimes hard to read due to spelling and grammatical errors. Otherwise good read

This book was for a promotional exam and one of the best i have read. Its is loaded with information and there is a lot to learn, this should be in every firefighters library

THE book on structural collapse. Chief Dunn knows more about building construction than contractors that build them. Make sure you get the updated edition that covers 9/11. Every firefighter should read this for their own safety- things highlighted about the integrity of structural members and what compromises them could have only been learned from experience and Chief Dunn has covered all of it.
