Amazon Customer said Great book! Worth the read!. Very thorough book. Really read stuffed with over inflated theories. Worth the money and knowledge. Read this book three times for a Fire promotional exam. Wished I had this book after I got hired with my FD.. Terrible Terrible book to learn fire service hydraulics and pump operations from.

The author speaks a lot of "the most common" ways. Gonzalo Andrade said I didn't like it, It was too simple and it doesn't.
