We are excited for this opportunity to partner with the FIRES Foundation in the development of the Spanish translation of Essentials of Fire Fighting, 7th Edition. We’d like to thank German Lopez and team for their efficiency, expertise and attention to detail throughout this process.
The FIRES Foundation is the only organization with an agreement that covers the translation, manufacturing, publication, sales and distribution of the Spanish translation of E7 in South America, in addition to Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon.
One of the unique features about this Spanish translation by the FIRES Foundation is that the manual has been translated page by page and lines up completely with the English edition. This translation allows students to use existing E7 accompanying products, which contain page references.
The Essentials of Fire Fighting manuals are IFSTA’s flagship product. Since 1977, the Essentials manuals have been a staple of fire fighter training and have grown to cover materials for firefighter one and two, emergency first aid and hazardous materials training. Essentials is a complete source for firefighter recruit and refresher training. More than 2.5 million copies of Essentials have been distributed across the fire service since it was first published.
If you live in one of the countries listed above, you may purchase the E7 Spanish translation now at E7 Spanish
This translation will be available in the U.S. and Canada through IFSTA later this year.
