This study guide is meant as an accompaniment to the book Strategic and Tactical Considerations on the Fireground, Third Edition written by retired Deputy Chief James P. Smith of the Philadelphia, PA, Fire Department and published by Brady/Prentice-Hall. It is not meant to be an all-inclusive text or to answer all-encompassing questions; it is meant to reinforce the text after it is read. In many cases the questions are narrow in design and emphasize specific points made within the text.
