NEW TITLES
Fire Engineering Books & Videos is proud to present these new titles:
John Norman, author of the best-selling火官的战术手册, brings his own remarkable story to life in this new highly anticipated memoir. But this is a story about all firefighters—the men and women who are absolutely the salt of the earth, whose sole mission is to protect the lives and property of their neighbors. This book celebrates the lives of firefighters—a truly special group of people—and reintroduces them to the American public.
The Study Guide for the 5th edition is here! Fires today are faster, hotter, and more toxic, while departments face staffing shortages and other challenges. The best-selling Fire Officer’s Handbook of Tactics, 5th edition, and its accompanying Study Guide incorporate new science and tactics to face these new realities head-on.
Best-selling author Frank Viscuso and renowned artist and author Paul Combs join forces to bring us a wonderful story that is sure to inspire young children to pursue their dreams, overcome adversity, and fight for what they believe in.
Ventilation can make or break the outcome of a fire. Ensuring its success requires a knowledge of how it works and what precautions must be taken. Firefighter and author Nicholas Papa examines ventilation and its relationship to fire behavior to identify how it affects the fire, operations, and—most importantly—victim survivability.
This striking work of photojournalism traces Tom Barry’s forty-year career as a firefighter with FDNY, with photos from noted freelance photographer Michael Dick.
This full-color, hardcover book contains over 200 pages chronicling the perils and joys experienced by first responders during the era known on the East Coast as the War Years: the urban decay and social unrest in New York City, continually fed by arson for profit or revenge, beginning in the 1960s and persisting into the 1990s.
Many of the fires depicted in this book predate OSHA personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. This period was a fertile stage for innovation and development of firefighting techniques and equipment.
The history contained in this book will no doubt resonate with every first responder, as it powerfully illustrates the dedication and commitment firefighters embody everyday on the job.
Who are you? My name is Josh Neal, and I graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2016 with a degree in strategic communications. I worked for a fast-growing company in OKC for about nine months before moving to Tulsa and starting at PennWell. Shortly after, I was placed in the Books & Videos group with Fire Engineering and haven’t looked back. At 27, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the change our group has experienced over the years. I hope to continue to grow within FEBV and be a dynamic part of our continued success.
What do you do with the Fire Engineering Books & Videos team? My official title is sales and operations manager, which encompasses many exciting duties. I was originally brought on to sale a new venture for the group, but shortly after that FEBV experienced a huge change and lost half our headcount. Since then, I’ve been involved in several important aspects of our group: managing digital content sales and fulfillment, working with operations to streamline customer experiences, communicating and working with our amazing authors to ensure successful titles, launching new initiatives, and learning everything I possibly can to better assist the team.

FromEmotional Wellness for First Respondersby Jada Hudson
Every change in life requires adjusting to a new way of doing things, a new schedule, a new rhythm for daily life, a new set of expectations, or even a new way of relating to the people around you. Marcus Aurelius believed that “Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature’s delight.” Change is inevitable, and loss is all-too regular. Some changes are easy, and other changes will bring up unexpected emotions. This is a natural part of human processing.
