I was able to use it for my final exam for my Firefighter 1 and pass. Many of my fellow firefighters have used it to help them study for their exams as well.

I bought this book and it completely helped on the Fire Fighter I exam. I scored a 95%, which was higher than I anticipated, but this book made me feel very confident, which was what I was looking for. I also passed the Fire Fighter II with this book. 84% on FFII.

I was really surprised how many questions on the exam I had seen in this book. It was the first exam that I was actually amused taking it because I had seen everything before. In the end, I am glad I bought it because confidence never hurts!!

I hold a graduate degree and wanted to volunteer in my community. Firefighting 1 required the textbook Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 2nd Edition. Since the required textbook contains several hundred pages of unfamiliar material I bought the book primarily because I needed an aid to outline the important areas to study.

Although each question is not explained in detail. The answer key refers to various textbook pages for your research. A few HAZMAT questions are covered on the FF1 material, however, this book does not cover that material.

The following books are referenced in each answer key: Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 3rd Edition; IFSTA, Essentials of Firefighting and Department Operations 5th Edition; Jones and Bartlett, NFPA, Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, 2nd Edition. I had no problems researching the material in Delmar, Firefighter's Handbook, 3rd Edition although the Academy required use of the Delmar's 2nd Edition.

Pros: the information is easily laid out for review. The information is relevant to FF 1 and 2 although most of my graduating class passed the exam without this study book. I believe they could have improved their scores with this study material as well as increased their personal knowledge. This book will help you become more engaged in the subject matter.

Study Plan: A successful student will read the course material (Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, 2nd Edition) and pay very close attention to the Academy Instructors during classes and field training (listen to everything they say; they welcome questions). The instructors in New Hampton, New York are very well versed in their specific areas of expertise. They take their jobs seriously, have a passion to teach, and want you to succeed. Then, use this study guide to enhance your knowledge of the subject matter. If you have the money go for it although you can pass Firefighter 1 without this book if you know what to study.

I purchased this book to prepare for the NPQS and IFSAC Firefighter I exam. This book helped me prepare for the exam and pass it. I recommend all of these books for emergency services planning to take any national certification exam through NPQS and/or IFSAC. I plan to use this book for the Firefighter II exam and purchasing the one for the Fire Instructor I & II Exams. If you are smart you will buy these books.

I highly recommend this book for the firefighter 1 and fire fighter 2 examination. When using this book in conjunction with the ifsta manual you should have no problem passing either test. Keep in mind the test questions will vary from state to state or jurisdiction. The hints for helping pass the test are very useful.

Great study guide! It helped me pass my exam. I recommend getting the jones and Bartlett (Fundamentals of fire fighter skills 2nd edition) reference book to go along with this book.
