B Shifter - Magazine



			Spring Issue, Volume 2, Issue 2 B Shifter’s mighty octopus edition features more must-read content than you can shake a tentacle at. Don’t miss Dan Madrzkykowski’s article on heat-release rates and how they impact size-up and other hazard-zone operations. Read about the stellar Vandenberg Air Force Base Fire Department—a top-notch team of civilian and military firefighters with an explosive first-due area. Lacking leadership skills? Don’t just sit there. Do something (fun): Try Bruno’s new Personnel Problem simulation and take that first giant step toward being a better boss. Lots of downloads and interactive fun!



			Winter Issue, Volume 2, Issue 1 B Shifter’s winter issue features Joe Starnes discussing flashover causes and prevention. Some firefighting friends from Oz talk about the Australian fire service—complete with a lessons-learned tale of communications gone wrong. Bruno introduces two new reader-response columns, and Vincent Dunn discusses fire-supression techniques in single-family residences. Lots of free downloads! Check it out!



			Summer Issue, Volume 1, Issue 2 The Eagle issue features Vincent Dunn talking building construction, UL & the Chicago crew examine the fire performance characteristics of legacy versus lightweight construction methods, designing a command training program, preparing yourself for oral interviews and so much more.



			Spring Issue, Volume 1, Issue 1 Check it out—the revised and fully functioning version of B Shifter’s inaugural issue, now presented in an easy-to-use and pretty sweet PDF. (We apologize for how unmanageable this first issue was for some of you, but what do you expect from a 2-ton gorilla?) For full interactivity, we recommend those on pads use Good Reader or any other reliable PDF reader. Thanks for looking!
