Command Safety
The blueprint for safer, smarter fireground leadership.
Written by Chief Alan Brunacini and Nick Brunacini, Command Safety is a cornerstone text for fire officers who prioritize disciplined command, firefighter survival, and customer-focused operations.
This book lays out the essential principles of building and maintaining a safe hazard zone — from size-up and strategy to tactical deployment, communication, and continuous command. With Bruno’s trademark clarity and humanity, and Nick’s modern operational lens, Command Safety blends street-proven wisdom, research-based practices, and decades of real-world command experience.
Inside you’ll find:
✅ Practical approaches to reducing firefighter risk
✅ The role of the IC in creating a safe, organized fireground
✅ Command practices that support coordinated, effective operations
✅ Culture- and training-driven strategies for firefighter fitness & readiness
✅ Real incidents and relatable examples that ground every concept
This is not theory — it's the operational playbook for keeping firefighters alive and taking care of Mrs. Smith.
If you lead crews, train officers, or aspire to command, Command Safety belongs on your desk, in your duty bag, and in your brain.
