IFSTA Firefighters Essentials volume 5.
What?

Oh, I'm reading Dennis Smith's Report from Ground Zero now. Enlightening book.
If you can get the whole set of IFSTA manuals it’s a real plus and ISO likes it, but they are expensive and want them updated every year. I can’t remember what we have, several, but mostly the ones that are pertinent to us.
on my bookshelf at home are, fire protection handbook by nfpa, nfpa 1500 handbook, building construction for the fire service, modern subur. fire fighting, fire chief handbook, fire fighter practices and procedures, structual fire fighting, fire ground tatics, rural fire fighting operation 1,2,3,. breathing apparatus, respiratory proctection, fire cause determination, ventilation, appartatus, water supply, fire detection, ground coverage, fire essentials, emt, engine company, truck company, pump operations ifsta manuals, just to name a few.
John Norman's Fire Officers' Handbook of Tactics, even if you're not an officer.

Vincent Dunn's Safety and Survival on the Fireground

Anthony Avillo's Fireground Tactics

Anything by Alan or Nick Brunacini
Fire Department nic nac's, pictures, No books.
All my books are in boxes on the floor.
If you really want to get into what ideally would be great to have...(but who can afford the cost or the room) How about a copy of NFPA Standards....
3000 Degrees

Incident Command by Bruno
Timeless Tactical Truths by Bruno

First in Last Out by Salka

Tools of the Trade (cant remember the author)

All of thr other books listed here are on my list as well.
Yup Brannigans is for sure there, Truck Company Ops by Mittendorf, IFSTA 3, 4 and 5, IFSTA pump ops, company officer, intro, wildland, haz mat, history, orientation, ground ladders, aeriel ladders, about 20 books on history, all the Dunn collection, all the Smith books, CSTI HM FRA FRO IC WMD WMDIC books, Brunacini books, tools of the trade, LAFD training manual 1926, nozzles, shields, extinguishers, grenades, pike heads.....
I would think soem physcology books would be a good start
