    A must read for all EMS providers

    Posted by Joe Casper, AEMT-P, NYS CIC on Apr 18th 2018

    This author does an excellent job of covering the details of ICS that are not taught in most EMS training programs. This book should be a mandatory read for any current or future EMS Officer/Supervisor.
