Although the Manuals of Firemanship still exist and in many cases are still worthwhile, they have now been replaced by the new, blue Fire Service Manuals, as below.

The Fire Service Manauls are a great addition to any firefighters library and provide a wealth of information on a wide range of topics. There are also a must for anyone desirous of promotion.

If you find that none of these titles are what you are looking for, please feel free to search through Amazon where they host a larger selection.
