Chief Vincent Dunn, a 42-year fire service veteran, has updated his best-selling book which examines the dangers of structural failure caused by fire. This is the second edition of the first textbook written to warn firefighters, company officers, and fire chiefs about exactly how structures collapse when destroyed by fire--and examines the subject of burning building collapse in great detail. More importantly, this book, unlike any other publication, instructs firefighters and fire officers in how to survive burning building collapse. Review: excellent - amazing book and the way its written keeps you into it... learned alot Review: One of the best - This book was for a promotional exam and one of the best i have read. Its is loaded with information and there is a lot to learn, this should be in every firefighters library

Enjoyed reading
I enjoyed reading Vincent Dunn's second edition. The first and second edition were both written in a straight foward style without trying to over complicate basic notions and without including irrelevant information. In the second edition, I found it interesting to see a slight philosophical transformation towards giving defensive attacks more consideration and attention as a viable option...with emphasis on safety and conveying what is truly important in the grand scheme. Unfortunately, this book has an abundance of grammatical and punctuation errors...which makes reading into a choppy slow process. Poor editing is my only complaint. However, I am still an advocate of Vincent Dunn's thoughts and tactics.

Good book, bad editing
Good information for any firefighter. Sometimes hard to read due to spelling and grammatical errors. Otherwise good read

2nd edition is must have
Even if you have read (and reread) the first edition of this book, buy this and read it again. Should be on every officer exam reading list. Well written and so informative.
