This text deals with the basics of wildland and forest firefighting. It has been totally revised and is now in full color.
The Wildland Fire Incident Management Field Guide is a revision of what used to be called the Fireline Handbook, PMS 410-1. This guide has been renamed because, over time, the original purpose of the Fireline Handbook had been replaced by the Incident Response Pocket Guide, PMS 461. As a result, this new guide is aimed at a different audience, and it was felt a new name was in order.
This is the most current book on this critical subject. The author recently retired from the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection after a 34-year career, starting as a seasonal firefighter & working his way up to Deputy Director for Fire Protection. This 336-page book was written for the firefighter with primary or intermittent responsibility for wildland firefighting. It may also be of interest to residents of wildland areas to increase their understanding of potential dangers & the firesafe & defensible space recommendations which might help save their homes. The book is presented in "reader-friendly" format including over 250 illustrations, charts & diagrams. Topics covered include fire behavior, fireline safety, the incident command system, use of engines, bulldozers & aircraft & urban/wildland strategies & tactics. The overriding emphasis is on SAFETY! "THIS IS THE MOST OUTSTANDING BOOK ON WILDLAND FIREFIGHTING I HAVE EVER READ."--Larry J. Holms, Chief, Orange County (CA) Fire Department. "CHIEF TEIE'S BOOK IS WELL WRITTEN, WELL ORGANIZED & CONTAINS HUMOROUS YET EDUCATIONAL ILLUSTRATIONS ALONG WITH SAFETY REMINDERS THAT SHOULD BE READ BY ALL FIREFIGHTERS REGARDLESS OF POSITION, LOCATION OR PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT."--Denny Bungarz, retired Fire Management Officer, USDA Forest Service & a National Team Incident Commander.
