Good Content, terrible writing style.
Rating  (3)
Date: 2007-11-30
Like most promotional books, this one is dry and could be condensed into about 50 pages. The Chief obviously knows his business, and that is IMS.
What you will find (most likely) very annoying (distracting) is Brunacini's frequent (almost every paragraph) use of the parentheses.
C'mon, Chief, we know your are getting paid (cabbage) by the word, but with all those extra (unneccesary) use of quotes, this book (text) is very distracting and tough to follow.
Read it for yourself, you'll see what I mean.

This book could easily be reduced to 100 pages. Repeat after repeat, and the cartoons give me a break.

Chief Brunacini obviously knows his stuff regarding fire command. However, the way this book is written makes it extremely unpleasant to read. His over-friendly style is hard to follow, and the use of parentheses is way out of control. He puts text in parentheses (xxxx) several times on almost EVERY PAGE! Some of this text is so long you have to go back and re-read the first part of the sentence to remember what he was talking about. The worst part is, this "extra" info is usually completely unnecessary.
Finally, this book could be half the pages, and still contain the same amount of info. There are just soooo many repeat topics.
I usually read quite fast, with good retention, but I have read this book three times in a one year period, and I can hardly remember any of it.

Fireground Command From The Inventor
Rating  (5)
Date: 2000-03-04
Alan Brunacini, to anyone who's been in the fire service for any length of time, is for all intensive purposes the founder of our modern-day fireground incident command system. The original system, developed by the federal government for use in large-scale wildfire incidents, was tailored by Brunacini specifically for company officers to utilize on everything from day-to-day RAC fires to large-scale incidents. The format of this book makes it extremely easy to read, understand, and apply.
