Edwards, Steven. Fire Service Personnel Management. Second edition. Upper Saddle River, N.J.: Pearson Education, 2005. In addition to the texts, you will be reading a number of online resources and web-based research articles.

Required Software and Hardware

You will be asked to explore interactive, media-rich websites using the Internet. Some may use multimedia components, such as audio tracks, video, etc. The multimedia features provide a richer experience for the viewer by using sound and movement to make content come alive. Your computer should have a sound and video card. Some of these sites require you to download special software programs called plug-ins. Plug-ins allow your web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, etc.) to view or play certain types of files. The plug-ins are free and download quickly. Your instructor will always have a note letting you know if and when you need to use these applications. If you do not have a required plug-in, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader or Macromedia Flash Shockwave Player, click on EACH INSTITUTION TO INSERT LINK TO THEIR TECHNICAL RESOURCES PAGE, and follow the directions to download the plug-in to your computer.
