30 Fires You Must Know offers a compelling examination of 30 pivotal fires that remain tactically relevant today. This resource provides a deep dive into modern fire history, offering valuable lessons for firefighters and first responders. By detailing these significant incidents, the book aims to honor the lives lost and ensure that their stories and the lessons learned continue to impact future operations.
While there are thousands of fires that have changed the fire service, the "30" was selected from several hundred that have occurred in the past couple of decades that any firefighter operating today must know about.
Each chapter includes vivid details from someone who was there or has direct knowledge of each of the fires, ensuring a clear understanding of the events. Additionally, each section begins with an overview to set the stage for what’s to come and a “lesson plan” at the end designed to help you share the details with your firefighters. The book also features a QR code linking to www.30Fires.com, where you can access more information about each fire, including documents, reports, photos, audio, and videos.
With a commitment to supporting the fire service community, all royalties from 30 Fires You Must Know are donated equally to four key charities:
The Firefighter Cancer Support Network
The First Responder Center of Excellence (an affiliate of the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation)
The Deputy Chief Raymond M. Downey Scholarship Charity Fund
