WORK OF SEARCH

Written By Corley Moore

The Highly Anticipated Companion to “The Book of Search”

Published by Firehouse Vigilance

Following the overwhelming success of The Book of Search, Firehouse Vigilance is proud to release Work of Search, the hands-on companion that transforms principles into performance.

Work of Search is a ready to use collection of drills and resources built by a diverse collection of “into the job” firefighters from across the country. It is intended to be a guide to enable all levels of the fire service to excel at search.

27 Drills. Maximum Clarity. Maximum Impact.

Each of the 27 drills inside this book is outlined with operational purpose and precision, giving firefighters, officers, and instructors everything they need for intentional and measurable training.

Inside every drill, you’ll find:

✔️ Purpose of the Drill

✔️ Scope of Application

✔️ Objectives & Benchmarks

✔️ Depth & Considerations

✔️ Step-by-Step Execution

More Than Just Drills

This book is packed with powerful tools that turn good reps into great ones:

  • 44 linked resources for deeper study

  • Time-to-Task charts to track performance

  • After Action Review templates to capture lessons learned

Every section is built to sharpen competence, confidence, and consistency.

A Work Created With—and For—the Fire Service

The Work of Search is strengthened by contributions from firefighters who live the mission every day.
