Software for Fire Engineering's Collapse of Burning Buildings: A Guide to Fireground Safety 2nd edition by Vincent Dunn.
Contains 594 questions, all of multiple choice format.
Scoring higher on firefighter exams is not out of reach when you've been studying the same information that is on the tests. Challenge yourself with customized test over the materials YOU need.
Rapid-Fire is all about function over form. We could put a flashy graphical interface on our software but the bottom line is that it won't help you when studying for your tests. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. That's what Rapid-Fire is for.
Rapid-Fire is specifically designed to test your knowledge with questions similar to those on real tests. Sometimes, knowing what (and how) questions are asked can make the difference between a passing and a failing grade.
You can also print out the test or study guide you create. The test printout is followed by the answer key. The study guide questions have the correct multiple choice answer marked for your convenience.
Please note: Rapid-Fire software is available as a download only. With your purchase of this item, you will receive an email with a download link from disisit.com (not FSP Books). If you do not see the download email in your Inbox, please be sure to check your Spam folder.
