Jones, Jr
A
valuable learning tool for firefighters and a handy resource for
design professionals
A practical understanding of fire protection
systems is essential to effective management of a fire scene.
Fire Protection Systems focuses on the operational
characteristics and abilities of different types of systems and
equipment that are used during fire department operations to access
a water source, apply a suppression agent to control a particular
type of fire, provide information concerning the location of a fire,
and more.
Systematic, easy-to-understand coverage
thoroughly explores various types of active fire protection systems
and components, how they operate, and the requirements for
installation, making this a valuable learning tool for firefighters
and a handy resource for design professionals.
Features:
- Explores
fire alarm and detection systems, fire suppression
systems, and control and management systems,
including how they are used by fire departments
during emergencies, to provide firefighters with a
practical application of system concepts
- Extensive
graphics and photos illustrate actual systems,
systems components, and systems in use, to provide a
visual application of the concepts
- Features
fire protection systems from the perspectives of the
contractor, insurance agent, and enforcement
