Completing a full scene assessment upon arrival at an incident can significantly lower the overall risks, as well allow for a more effective response. Reading Fire supports frontline practitioners in gathering information upon arrival at an incident, using the 'BE-SAHF' model of assessment. Using a step-by-step approach, it considers each critical area of the model, from building, construction and environmental factors, to understanding and reading smoke, airflow, heat and flames. It explores each of these areas in depth and considers the evidence that needs to be analysed in order to formulate an effective tactical plan.

Review for Fire Dynamics for Firefighters, Book 1 in the Compartment Firefighting Series: "This original and practical book challenges some of the thinking from the last decade and covers the imperative topics that all firefighters need to be fluent in, including the importance of flow rates and the impact of building construction on fire behaviour. Benjamin's thought provoking use of case studies really brings the reality of the consequences home. This book will add to the tools available to firefighters as they deal with these situations on a daily basis." Neil Gibbins QFSM FIFireE
