"This book is solid. It does an excellent job in covering HazMat, which has been neglected for far too long. It also covers the standard at a good depth, not too complicated but not superficial either. The book is formatted well, easy to read, and the street-smart tips are very beneficial." - Attila Hertelendy, Instructor, University of Nevada, Fire Science Academy, Carlin, NV
