Only to persons like the author, who is a veteran of the Fire Department of New York, could the phrase "routine emergencies" be anything other than an oxymoron. Part one covers the most common types of fire-related calls plus water leaks. The next section treats the medical aspects and new responses (since 1994) to alarms for carbon monoxide, the leading cause of accidental poisoning in the US. Includes study questions with answers, and b&w photos of emergency situations and equipment. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
