Al London's book, The Art of Effective Communication for the Fire Officer, is a mix of anecdotes from his own storied past with sage advice that's truly useful for today. Through the power of true life parables, Lieutenant London educates and entertains his readers all at once on both the follies and effectiveness he's witnessed from fire station communication. This book empowers not only officers but truly anyone in the fire service with wisdom from a lifetime of service. To Lt. Al London - my sincere thanks.
