FESHE

Working with coordinators of two- and four-year academic fire and Emergency Medical Services management degree programs, the U.S. Fire Administration established the Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) network of emergency services-related education and training providers. The FESHE mission is to establish an organization of post-secondary institutions to promote higher education and to enhance the recognition of the fire and emergency services as a profession to reduce loss of life and property from fire and other hazards.

IFSTA® and FPP are proud to have written FESHE recommended texts and/or supporting references for 29 FESHE courses. Visit ifsta.org/feshe to view our full IFSTA-FPP FESHE guide.

TRAIN • LEARN • PERFORM • SUCCEED

For 90 years, we have been dedicated to delivering the most comprehensive safety and training standards and information to every corner of the fire service industry.

IFSTA® and FPP manuals provide learning opportunities for all emergency service personnel, from students to instructors to active-duty firefighters.

IFSTA® content is written for firefighters by firefighters. While we’ve transitioned from the early Redbooks to 1,400-page manuals, one thing has never changed: our commitment to quality.

Since its 1977 introduction, the Essentials of Firefighting series has sold more than 1 million copies. Publishing fire service training manuals is IFSTA®’s primary and only mission. We are proud to be invested in all levels of today’s fire service community. From supporting local fire prevention activities to global support for legislative and fire research projects, IFSTA®, in cooperation with FPP and Oklahoma State University, provides partnerships for grants and supports various fire service organizations to help the fire service Train, Learn, Perform, and Succeed

WRITTEN FOR FIREFIGHTERS, BY FIREFIGHTERS

It’s the way IFSTA® manuals have been written and validated since 1934. The process to produce new and revised IFSTA® manuals is a collaborative effort between the staff members at FPP and IFSTA® subject matter experts who are assigned to the validation committee for a particular manual. IFSTA® validation committee members are a diverse group of subject matter experts from all areas of the fire and emergency services community who volunteer to review draft chapters for new and revised IFSTA® manuals. Committee members also provide assistance in obtaining research materials, photographs, and other information needed to produce a finished manual. Members are sent draft chapters of the manual they are assigned to and submit comments on the drafts to the FPP staff members assigned to the project. All comments are reviewed by the entire committee and discussed in committee meetings. Committees complete their work in an 18- to 36-month time frame including regular electronic meetings and two to four in-person meetings held in Oklahoma.

This edition meets all of the NFPA 1001, 2019 JPRs. Essentials 7 is the complete source for firefighter recruit and refresher training.

Key features:

• Organized to meet the needs of students and instructors: Chapters 1-15 Fire Fighter I

Chapters 16-22 Fire Fighter II

Chapter 23 Emergency First Aid (FFI JPRs)

Chapters 24-26 Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations (FFI JPRs)

Chapter 27 NIMS-ICS (FF I, FF II, and Hazmat JPRs)

• IFSTA® worked with the UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute (UL-FSRI) to incorporate the latest research on fire behavior and fire attack. This research is throughout the text. Essentials 7 uses text, photos, illustrations, key terms, and plain language for greater comprehension of this new content.

• Hazardous Materials content is enhanced and meets Awareness and Operations of NFPA 1072, 2017 JPRs.

• The IFSTA® one column format means more photos, more illustrations, and more tables. More visuals enhance the student learning experience.

• A complete line of support products for students and instructors include the Curriculum, Workbook, Exam Prep, Interactive Course, Skills Videos, and eBook. The new Fire Dynamics research from UL-FSRI is the basis for extensive changes in the Fire Dynamics and Ventilation chapters. These chapters tackle the complexities of fire behavior that new knowledge provides. The information is applied to structure fires and to the effects of fire on buildings. Applying this new science to fire attack means understanding fuel, the stages of fire, the critical need to control the sources of oxygen, and the value of cooling a fire before making entry into a structure.

These editions of the best selling IFSTA® fire apparatus driver/operator training materials mark a new approach to training driver/ operators. Previously, IFSTA® published two separate manuals with student and instructor support materials: Pumping Apparatus Driver/ Operator Handbook and Aerial Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook. Fire departments with both types of apparatus needed two manuals and two curricula. Driver/operator trainees needed two Exam Preps to study for tests.

The release of the 3rd edition of these manuals streamlines the IFSTA training resources. The Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook, 3rd Edition covers pumping apparatus only. The second book in the pair, Pumping and Aerial Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook, 3rd Edition contains the same 15 chapters as the pumping apparatus textbook, plus an additional 5 chapters relevant to aerial apparatus. Personnel on departments that operate both types of apparatus now only need one manual and one curriculum for training. Students only need one Exam Prep to prepare for testing. If a fire department does not use aerial apparatus, they can use the Pumping Apparatus Driver/Operator Handbook, 3rd Edition and omit the aerial sections of the curriculum and Exam Prep which include all 20 chapters.

Chapters 2 and 3 are especially beneficial for all driver/operators: Inspection and Maintenance, and Safety and Operating Emergency Vehicles.

By Michael Wieder

The ability to identify a sufficient water supply source and use it effectively to control a fire is one of the most basic functions of the fire service. This manual includes information on the basics of water and water flow, theoretical and practical methods of determining water flow and pressure loss, types of pumps and fire apparatus used to move water, relay pumping operations, and effectively supplying sprinkler and standpipe systems.

In addition to new, up-to-date photos and graphics, this 3rd edition discusses recent research on updating friction loss coefficients for modern fire hose. This is also the first edition of this text that includes information and calculations using the metric system of measurement.

This manual meets FESHE learning objectives for the Associates non-core course, Fire Protection Hydraulics and Water Supply. Some requirements from NFPA 1002, Fire Apparatus Driver/ Operator Professional Qualifications (2017 edition) are addressed throughout various portions of the text.

The basic fire suppression mission of a firefighter is to enter a burning structure, rescue occupants, and extinguish the fire. The firefighter enters an unknown environment. Effective and safe fire fighting in a structure requires the firefighter to understand building construction, building materials, and the impact of fire on buildings.

The landscape of communities today include buildings made of modern, engineered materials as well as legacy buildings constructed in the early twentieth century or before, and everything in between. All members of the fire service, regardless of their area of responsibility, need an understanding of how structures are built, the nature of the construction materials, and how the buildings are likely to respond under fire conditions. This edition provides information about building design, construction, construction materials, and how these relate to emergency operations. The information is important for fire prevention and for fire fighting strategy and tactics. Knowledge of building construc tion is vital when enforcing fire codes, inspecting buildings, developing preincident plans, fighting fire, directing fire ground operations, performing the duties of the incident safety officer, or investigating fires. A thorough understanding of building construction enables fire department personnel to make better and safer decisions to protect people and property.

Although this text is not based on an NFPA standard, it includes content related to requisite knowledge from NFPA 1001, 1006, and 1031.

This text meets the learning objectives for the FESHE Associates core course, Building Construction for Fire Protection.
