rescue services’ role and firefighters have always worked closely
with pre-hospital medical providers in their aim to save lives. As
the fire services are now increasingly involved in the delivery of

aid training has become crucial for firefighters to provide initial
assessment and care of patients when responding to a variety of
medical emergencies. This textbook, written by an experienced team
of firefighters and paramedics, is an essential guide to life
saving care and has been specifically written for firefighters
already employed or undertaking training within a fire and rescue

practical approach with clinical knowledge and covers a range of
urgent care that firefighters deliver and respond to, including
trauma injuries, burns, road traffic collisions and cardiac arrest.
