There are books that are written. And then there are books that are built.
The Romagus Papers by Kyle Romagus is the latter.
Notes of Kyle Romagus
Built over years of doing the work— on firegrounds, in firehouses, on training grounds and in front of classrooms. Through years of notes, reading, studying, teaching, hose stretches, conferences, conversations, questions, mistakes, and research. Through whiteboards filled across the country with information, and countless hours spent testing ideas, challenging conventional wisdom, and working to better understand not only what we do on the fireground, but why we do it.
Long before there was The Romagus Papers, there were notebooks filled with information and ideas Kyle was studying, teaching, testing, and working through.
That work has earned Kyle the respect of firefighters throughout the country and taken him to training grounds and conference stages across the world. His methodology is second to none, and his fire attack lecture is one of the most sought after classes in the industry.
This book is the culmination of years of that work.
Kyle has laid out the blueprint and explaining how he arrived at the conclusions he did. He's not asking you to simply take his word for it. He's asking you to think, to question, to challenge… then take it to the drill ground, flow it, test it, and talk about it around the kitchen table. Then decide what it means for your company, your department, and ultimately, the people depending on you when the tones go off.
As it plainly states on the back cover:
“This book is not the destination, but the tour guide.”
The responsibility still belongs to the firefighter holding it.
Notebook of Kyle Romagus
I've spent a lot of years reading fire service books and talking with firefighters, instructors, researchers, and fire service leaders. Through The Weekly Scrap alone, I've been fortunate enough to sit across from hundreds of professionals who have dedicated their lives to making this profession better.
So I understand the weight of what I'm about to say, and I don't say it lightly.
I believe The Romagus Papers has the potential to be one of the most impactful fire service books of the last 25 years.
That's how strongly I believe in the work Kyle has put into these pages and what this book has the potential to bring to the fire service.
On September 3rd, it will finally be in your hands.
