WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT’S REALLY LIKE TO BE A ROOKIE FIREFIGHTER? With over twenty years of experience, Renick Sampson will prepare you for the many roles and expectations of a rookie firefighter, and will explain the different points that are critical to your success during probation. After reading The Game, you’ll be ready to start your career with the knowledge of an experienced firefighter in your back pocket. FROM THE AUTHOR: “I saw a hole in the way future firefighters here in the United States prepare for their careers. All of the focus is on developing skills and tactics. And even though those tools allow a firefighter to be successful at the scene of an emergency, very few rookies understand what is expected of them when they show up to the station for their first shift. There is little to no rookie expectation training and many probationary firefighters are not able to learn their role in the firehouse fast enough. This leads to added stress, issues during probation, and possibly even termination for those who can’t keep up.” —§— Don’t enter your hard-earned career blind! Read The Game—-be prepared! Read more


Review

Great book, that really covers all your unspoken knowns of the fire service that allows you to do what you've been training for. I am currently a rookie at a FD in central Texas, and did not pick it up and read it till I was a few months in n my first fire job, but I'm glad I did. It opened my eyes to how to go above and beyond! Must of it is pretty much common sense, but it helps you better understand it and be able to work in the system easier and more efficiently. For someone who has no previous fire experience and is embarking on their first fire job, GET IT. READ IT. EMBRACE IT. It makes life as a rookie 10 times smoother, because simply it helps you master "the game".I've shared the book with my department and they've sent it up the chain to hopefully give out to rookies one day. In the mean time I've been picked to teach our new hires how to be a rookie. It works, take it from a 8 month Rookie.
