Paperback. Condition: New. The Balance: A Firefighter's Guide to Life in the Service is a long-overdue guide to overcoming the in-house obstacles in the fire service. The job of firefighting isn't all about what happens on the fire scene, it's also about the time spent being ready and coexisting with fellow members of your department. This book aims to cut through the technicalities and long lists of recommendations to establish basic and universal guidelines to help firefighters at every level of their journey achieve personal fulfillment and professional success. Methods of empowerment can be found at every level of service, from new hires to chiefs. Ambrose's intention in this guidebook is to inform but not overwhelm, to engage but not judge, and to challenge but not patronize. In the text readers will find fictional scenarios of firefighters facing tough calls and pivotal moments that may determine their success or failure. By applying common sense and considering the fresh perspectives offered by these scenarios, readers are urged to self-reflect and apply this wisdom to enhancing their own personal growth and career success.
