EMTBravo Book Club ?

[Oswegowind 17]

Seth is always advertising these books he reads...granted he has a hell of a lot of time to read. I am sure others have some interesting books. How about sharing them with the other members of this site...sort of like the EMTBravoLibrary. This would make access to these books easy and promote knowledge sharing in yet another way!

That's actually a great idea Oswegowind!

I have something in mind....look for the "EMTBravo Book Club" to launch soon.

If anyone has any ideas or input, please let me know on this thread.

"The Last Men Out"

Life on the edge at FDNY Rescue 2

By Tom Downey

http://www.amazon.com/Last-Men-Out-Rescue-...e/dp/0805071695

EMTBravo Book Club is a GREAT idea!

How about Training Videos too?

Some of the classics by Dennis Smith like "Report From Engine Co. 82" or "Firefighters".

Or the textbooks that were brought up in previous posts like Normans "Officers Guide to Tactics".

Great idea brothers, hope it takes off!

There's a book called Paramedic. It's about a Medic(obviously) from NYC. It was released in the late 80's early 90's. I don't remember who wrote it, but it was an interesting read.

And once I write my book on FDNY Communications(a few years away), I will recommend it.

[Bababoosky 24]

"The Man Who Warned Amercia" Murray Weiss

That is a GREAT book! Had people listened to John O'Niel, the world would be a lot better off right now!

If anyone is interested in the Forensics of Fire, read Blaze By Nicholas Faith.

Some good fiction, especially if you like a little bit of conspiracy theory, Nelson DeMille's Nightfall and Wildfire (highly recomended!)
