Trevor Doyle said Basic Text. Good review of NFPA standards, however only provides a basic guide to technical rope systems. A novice may find this helpful, but anyone involved professionally in fire or technical rescue should consider other texts such as High Angle Rescue Techniques or Engineering Practical Rope Rescue Systems.. The book is helpful. Wayne Young The book was informational and provided help. Would have been nice if it would have had an internet related link for assistance with knots or access to the powerpoints.. The book is crammed full of detailed knowledge Ben Weeks This book is filled with all sorts of valuable knowledge. It takes a while to still down and read to absorb everything it has to share.
