Ratings and reviews

Some sections didnt open when I first downloaded the new version, but got onto Tom and he promptly kept me up to date on the progress and now it's working great. Great personal attention that is very rare these days and very much appreciated. This is a fantastic resource for anyone in the rescue arena with all the info you need for in the field operations with handy IC guides, vidoes etc and for use in regular training. Also have the hardcopy (which I need to update now that version 6 is out!)

Crashes frequently. Several links don't open. EDIT: Works great!

Excellent resource for firefighters.
