Leadership for the Wildland Fire Officer was written for the firefighter who wants to learn what it takes to be a fire officer, review leadership techniques, or is about to take on a new leadership assignment. There are three distinct parts to the book: The first part focuses on the art of leadership, safety, situational awareness, decision-making, and plan development. Whenever possible, the art of leadership is tied to firefighting. The second part focuses on command and control, operations and how leadership is vital to safe and effective firefighting.
