These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 63 topics.
Exam paper, hydraulics question: a 12.5 mm nozzle at 4 bar, how many litres a minute? You've run hose for years. On paper, you can't get to the number.
The manual has the answer, spread over two pages of paragraphs: a formula, a constant, a square root, a note on nozzle diameter. Read after a night shift, it's gone by morning.
In the book, nozzle flow is one page: the branch drawn with its 12.5 mm nozzle, the formula Q ≈ 0.67 × d² × √P in a box, and one worked example: 4 bar, about 210 litres a minute.
Every other topic gets the same treatment: friction loss in hose, pressure and head, extinguisher colour bands, the three enforcement notices, FD30S fire doors. Each one on its own page.
You see the drawing, you follow the numbers, and you work out the flow without going back to the manual.
Fire science, extinguishing media and hydraulics, fire safety law, fire safety in buildings, operations and incident command, hazards at operations, management and leadership, and exam technique: 67 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's exam day. The question asks you to explain the difference between flashover and backdraught in about six lines. You've got the knowledge; what you need is the picture.
In the book, you open the backdraught page and see it drawn as a room: the under-ventilated fire, the door opening, the sudden air rushing in. Right beside it, flashover: driven by heat, not air.
Same with the three notices from Article 29 to 31, FD30S fire doors, the decision control process, nozzle flow and a Hazchem code like 2YE: each one on its own page.
Fire Service Exam Illustrated is 67 illustrated pages in 8 parts, ending with exam command words, a six-line answer built step by step and a last-week checklist.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
The fire triangle and tetrahedron, flash point and fire point, flammable limits, heat transfer, compartment fire stages, the neutral plane, flashover, backdraught, fire gas ignitions and products of combustion. So you can explain what a fire is doing in a room, stage by stage.
Classes of fire, extinguishers and their colour bands, foam expansion ratios, pressure and head, nozzle flow in litres per minute, friction loss and pumping from open water and hydrants.
Which law applies where, the responsible person, the five steps of a fire risk assessment, the three notices, the Fire Safety Act 2021, the 2022 Regulations, the Building Safety Act and the authority's duties. So you can name the right article and the right notice without rereading the Order.
Approved Document B from B1 to B5, means of escape on the floor plan, compartmentation, FD30S fire doors, R, E and I ratings, detection categories, sprinklers, evacuation strategies and facilities for the fire service.
How National Operational Guidance is organised, the decision control process, incident command levels, span of control, dynamic and analytical risk assessment, the safe person concept, JESIP, METHANE, cordons and tactics. So you can talk through your decisions at an incident in a clear, fixed order.
BA entry control, reading a Hazchem placard, BLEVE and cylinders, building collapse indicators, road traffic collisions, and water and height incidents.
Health and safety law for managers, Plan-Do-Check-Act, investigating an accident or near miss, action-centred leadership, team development, motivation, the Core Code of Ethics and planning and standards.
Command words from state to evaluate, a six-line answer built step by step, using drawings in your answer, the pairs that get mixed up and a last-week checklist.
At the end of the book: An exam technique section: command words, a six-line answer built step by step and a last-week checklist.
Practise with exam-style questions across all 4 areas, with short model answers so you can see exactly how much to write and what to include.
See the mistakes candidates make most often, from mixing up flashover and backdraught to vague answers on the responsible person, each one corrected side by side.

Yes. It isn't a beginner's book: it assumes you know the fireground and helps you put what you know into clear written answers, one topic per page.
It's checked against current sources: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Fire Safety Act 2021, Approved Document B, National Operational Guidance, JESIP and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Fire safety law and building regulations follow England; Part III opens with a page on which law applies where, so if you serve in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, check those topics against your own nation's rules.
It covers the topics written promotion exams for UK firefighters draw on: fire science, hydraulics, fire safety law, building fire safety, operations, hazards, management and exam technique. The full index is open on this page, so you can compare it topic by topic with your own exam's syllabus. It's an independent study book, not produced or endorsed by the IFE, the NFCC or any fire and rescue service.
