Buildings reference book emphasizes safety
Oct. 13, 2010 -
Knowing Your Buildings: A Firefighter's Reference Guide, provides an illustrative guide to building construction terms and concepts for those still learning the trade as well as practicing fire service professionals. The book opens with a chapter dedicated to risk management at structure fires and an overview
of building construction basics to emphasize the importance of
firefighter safety in incident response. In the following A-Z chapters,
terms and definitions are organized alphabetically, and include photos,
diagrams, drawings and charts to clearly explain and provide visual
examples of building construction materials and techniques. Safety
points are also highlighted throughout the book to explain the
connection between building construction materials, fire growth and
ultimately the safety of responding firefighters and fire officers. For more information, or to purchase a copy of
Knowing Your Buildings: A Firefighter's Reference Guide, visit the
