About this FPP - IFSTA fire training DVD...
When completed, this DVD is intended to be included in the fifth edition of the IFSTA FPP "Essentials" book (Essentials of Fire Fighting) - a comprehensive training book containing the basics of firefighting, used nationwide by not only recruits but by seasoned firefighters as well.

In it's completed form the DVD will assist firefighters by providing solid, well-researched information and guidelines on how to conduct fire station tours (when a group of small children visit the fire station), as well as how to conduct classroom visits (when firefighters go out to a school or classroom).

Also appearing in the video are: Tom Hughes-Research Coordinator, Fire Protection Publications, Ingalls Firefighter and Graduate student in Emergency Management, OSU; 
Steven Parker-Graduate student in Fire Protection and Safety Technology, OSU and Graduate Researcher, FPP; and Kimberley Simmons and Jamie Johnson, two wonderful FPP researchers, and video production assistants.
