The fourth edition of Engine Company Fireground Operations, authored by Raul Angulo, provides a comprehensive and updated study of fire ground operations. Published by Jones & Bartlett Learning in collaboration with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), this edition incorporates the latest research and recommendations from UL and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) regarding fire attack and ventilation. It serves as an essential resource for fire service personnel preparing for promotion or civil service examinations, offering deep insights into fire science, building construction, and the behavior of modern fuel loads.

This edition places a significant emphasis on safety and risk management, applying the Value-Time-Size method to size-up operations, survivability profiling, and incident action planning. It features a unique focus on attacking residential and commercial basement fires and includes a specialized chapter on company-level high-rise firefighting. Through detailed illustrations and analytical case studies of both successful operations and line-of-duty deaths, the text provides actionable knowledge for firefighters and company officers.

Core topics covered include:

  • Advanced fire science and the effects of burning modern fuels.
  • Strategic deployment of attack, back-up, and exposure hose lines.
  • Initial hose lays, water supplies, and master stream operations.
  • Tactical approaches to basement and high-rise fire behavior.
  • Functional accountability systems and rapid intervention teams (RIT).
  • Search and rescue, standpipe operations, and fire protection systems.
  • Procedures for effective salvage and overhaul.
