Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drive to Survive: The Art of Wheeling the Rig provides an in-depth examination of fire apparatus vehicle dynamics. This is not your average “driver training” textbook. Fire apparatus operators must understand how a vehicle maneuvers at roadway speed, and more importantly…why does it crash? Just as a doctor cannot heal the human body without a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology, an emergency vehicle operator cannot safely drive a fire apparatus without an in-depth knowledge of vehicle dynamics. Drive to Survive goes beyond talking about pump operations, aerial operations, and preventative maintenance; it fills in the gaps between vehicle dynamics and crash causation. After 15 years of training and research, Chris Daly developed a training program combining his fire service and crash reconstruction training experience. This book provides an in-depth knowledge of topics required in the following NFPA standards: --NFPA 1002 “Standard for Fire Apparatus Driver/Operator Professional Qualifications” --NFPA 1451 “Standard for Fire and Emergency Service Vehicle Operations Training Programs” --NFPA 1500 “Standard on Fire Department Occupational Health and Safety Program” Fire apparatus operators will learn the limits of driving an emergency vehicle and will understand that no matter how long they have been driving or how good they think they are, at some point physics will take over and the vehicle will lose control. We can reduce the number of emergency vehicle crashes throughout the world by addressing key issues and providing emergency vehicle operations course (EVOC) instructors with methods to convey these concepts. Concepts you learn in this book relate to more than just driving a fire apparatus. These principles apply to anyone who drives a vehicle, including your family members and loved ones.

Book excerpt: Emergency Vehicle Operations: A Line Officer’s Guide is an all-inclusive, hands-on training/reference guide in compliance with the most recent version of the IADLEST Law Enforcement Driver Training Reference Guide. Chapter-opening Objectives summarize each book chapter to help students understand the material. Chapter-ending Review Questions reinforce the concepts. Two completely new chapters cover challenges of great concern to modern Law Enforcement: Lawsuits: This is a concern of every line officer. This chapter instructs officers as to how to prepare in the event a lawsuit is initiated, providing clear-cut guidelines for testifying at trials and depositions. Risk Management: This chapter provides a framework for installing an agency-wide, vehicle operation Risk Management Program. All book material is policy driven, in the context of an agency’s own policy. You train using this book, and you train to your own policy. A Policy Worksheet Appendix provides an invaluable, step-by-step walk-through to help ensure a complete understanding of the material. A Glossary enables officers to understand vehicular jargon and all related terminology. A complete Index makes using the book quick and easy. This emergency vehicle "bible" sets the standard for line officer training. It helps officers take the skills learned in training and correctly apply them to the nitty-gritty, emotionally charged street atmosphere, so that they can sort out and make the right decisions under fire. This book is a must for every training classroom, and should be kept in the glove compartment of every emergency vehicle. *The free accompanying Instructor’s Manual helps key the book to IADLEST’s Reference Guide
