Survival Skills for the Fire Chief examines the management mistakes fire chiefs often make that compromise their effectiveness and ability to manage and lead their fire departments. In his latest book, Dr. Fleming, a nationally recognised authority on fire and emergency services, provides the understanding necessary to enhance the fire chief’s success and that of his or her fire department. The book’s themes include understanding, meeting, and, where possible, exceeding the reasonable expectations of fire department stakeholders and preparing as a fire chief for professional, personal, and organisational success.

Survival Skills for the Fire Chief is ideal for current and future fire chiefs; participants in related college and university courses; and participants in training programmes, seminars, and courses offered by fire and emergency services training agencies.
