Fire Fighting Dictionary?

[BryanLoader]

Does anyone know of a dictionary or descriptive publication detailing different names for fire fighting equipment, apparatus, fire dept organization etc. One of my students here says he saw one on the net a few years ago, but can't remember where, I'm not even sure if this was an American publication. They are interested in different terminologies around the world eg pumper, engine, responder, water ladder. brigade, company, dept etc.
Thanks for any info

It describes the fire service as a career; explains fire service organizations; and covers fire department organization, equipment, and facilities.
