Good but general

I bought this book to prepare for FDNY exams. While I have not taken the exam yet I found this book helpful to prepare me for the test prep tutorials that FDNY offers. The book is too general to prepare you fully for your local exam. Check with your FD for prep classes specific to that department.

Look for a book that is for your part of the country. I found out the hard way that there are different tests for certain areas of the country. This book will help in reading and diagrams that pertain to Southern California.
