These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.
You're in the appliance bay, the instructor starts the stopwatch and you have to don your full structural PPE. Hood or helmet first? Where does the PASS device go? Your hands stop.
The manual covers it in two pages of paragraphs: layers, standards, collars, closures. Nothing on those pages shows you the order from head to boots.
In the book it's a single page: one fire fighter drawn from helmet to boots, every item labelled: helmet, hood, three-layer tunic and trousers, gloves, boots and the PASS device.
The same goes for the SCBA check, hose sizes, pitching a ladder and the veld fire: each one gets its own page.
You see it, you get it, and on the day you kit up in order without going back to the manual.
The job and the assessment, fire behaviour, PPE and SCBA, tools and ladders, water, fireground operations, veld, vehicles and hazmat, Fire Fighter 2 and revision: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's the night before the practical and you want to run through the SCBA check in the right order one more time.
You open the book at that page and the set is drawn with every check numbered, always in the same order.
The same with rollover and flashover, hose lays, the 1-in-4 ladder rule and LPG cylinders: each one on its own page.
Fire Fighter 1 & 2 Illustrated is 66 illustrated pages in 9 parts, one topic per page, and at the end, the practical skills in order and the numbers to know.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What Fire Fighter 1 and 2 each assess, the South African rules behind the job, incident command and the units you use on the fireground.
The fire tetrahedron, heat transfer, classes of fire, the four stages, reading smoke, rollover, flashover, backdraft and flow path.
Structural PPE, the SCBA and its check, donning and doffing, air management, SCBA emergencies, radio and MAYDAY.
Hand tools by job, forcible entry, three knots, hoisting, ladder types, the 1-in-4 rule and working off a ladder.
Hose sizes, instantaneous couplings, hose lays, hydrants, drafting, pressure and flow, branches, extinguishers and foam.
Size-up, fire attack, door entry, primary search, drags and carries, ventilation, PPV, salvage and overhaul.
Veld fires and how to attack them, LACES, vehicle fires, LPG and BLEVE, electrical hazards, road collisions, hazmat placards and first actions.
Coordinating an interior attack, pre-incident planning, inspections and public education, fire cause indicators and equipment maintenance.
The practical skills in order, the numbers to know, fire behaviour on one page and the frequent mistakes in the practical.
At the end of the book: The practical skills in order, the numbers to know and fire behaviour on one page.
Exam-style questions on every chapter, with the answer and the reason behind it, so you find your gaps before the written assessment does.
Each frequent mistake drawn next to the correct way, from SCBA checks to ladder pitching, so you can revise them in one sitting.

Yes. It covers the Fire Fighter 1 and 2 core skills, from fire behaviour to the interior attack, in metres, kPa and South African terms. It follows the Fire Fighter 1 and 2 job performance requirements (NFPA 1010). Your academy's programme (SAESI/IFSAC or the QCTO occupational certificate) decides what is assessed, so check it against the index on this page. It also works if you've served for years and now need the theory for Fire Fighter 2.
From the Fire Fighter 1 and 2 job performance requirements (NFPA 1010), cross-checked against SANS 10090, SANS 10232, the OHS Act 85 of 1993, the Fire Brigade Services Act 99 of 1987 and the National Veld and Forest Fire Act 101 of 1998.
No. It's independent study material, not issued or endorsed by IFSAC, SAESI, NFPA, QCTO or any fire service. It doesn't give you a certificate or accreditation: that comes only from passing your assessment.
The manual explains. This book shows: each skill on one page, drawn, in a fixed order, in metres and kPa instead of feet and psi. It's for revising the night before or between shifts. It doesn't replace the course: your academy's practical training and your service's instructions always come first.
No. They're written for this book, in the style of the written assessment, each with the answer and the reason behind it.
The book and the 2 bonus books arrive as a PDF by email, to the address you enter when you pay. You can open them on your phone, tablet or computer, and print them.
No. It's a single payment, not a subscription.
