Fire Fighter Safety and Survival, 3rd Edition, is a textbook by Don Zimmerman designed for fire fighters, EMS providers, and other safety professionals aiming to reduce line-of-duty injuries and fatalities. It details the 16 Fire Fighter Life Safety Initiatives supported by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) and outlines methods for implementing a life safety program.
The volume addresses departmental safety culture, accountability, risk management, and the elimination of unsafe acts. Coverage also spans training and certification standards, equipment engineering, incident investigations, and community measures such as public education and residential fire sprinklers.
Directly correlating with Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) core course objectives for Principles of Fire and Emergency Services Safety and Survival (C0281), each chapter begins with a fictional scenario case study to help students test their understanding of key concepts.
