This book establishes a proper firefighting mindset and promotes maintaining preparedness for the extreme physical and mental demands of firefighting operations in high-rise and standpipe equipped buildings. Armed with firefighting weapons that would be much more appropriate at a car fire, far too many fire departments are on a collision course with disaster and tragedy, should they encounter a serious high-rise fire. Countless false alarms, along with good luck while relying on bad habits, have greatly exacerbated the deadly disease of complacency. District Chief McGrail draws from his 25 years of experience, along with the lessons learned from many other fire service professionals, to provide a foundation for success and safety during high-rise and standpipe operations. The words Everyone Comes Home are just words. The actions necessary to ensure that everyone does come home are based on a lifelong commitment to excellence, and the consistent application of good fireground habits. This book is a compilation of those good habits and the many lessons learned by a man who is truly passionate about firefighting and firefighter safety and survival.


Among the many valuable topics covered in this book are:


Standpipe system pressure regulating devices, pressure restricting devices and pressure reducing valves
Cautious and disciplined elevator use during high-rise operations
Elevator rescue operations
Proper engine company suppression selection, including techniques to operate more powerful firefighting weapons with limited manpower
Air support operations during high-rise emergencies, with or without an internal resource
