This book was released on 2009 with total page 1108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the release of the Second Edition, Jones and Bartlett Publishers, the National Fire Protection Association®, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs have joined forces to raise the bar for the fire service once again.Safety Is Fundamentals!The Second Edition features a laser-like focus on fire fighter injury prevention, including a dedicated chapter on safety. Reducing fire fighter injuries and deaths requires the dedicated efforts of every fire fighter, of every fire department, and of the entire fire community working together. It is with this goal in mind that we have integrated the 16 Fire Fighter Life Safety Initiatives developed by the National Fallen Fire Fighter Foundation into Chapter 2, Fire Fighter Safety. In most of the chapters, actual National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System cases are discussed to drive home important points about safety and the lessons learned from those real-life incidents. It is our profound hope that this textbook will contribute to the goal of reducing line-of-duty deaths by 25 percent in the next 5 years.Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, Second Edition thoroughly supports instructors and prepares students for the job. This one-volume text meets and exceeds the Fire Fighter I and II professional qualifications levels as outlined in the 2008 edition of NFPA 1001, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications. It also covers all of the Job Performance Requirements (JPRs) listed in the 2008 edition of NFPA 472, Standard for Competence of Responders to Hazardous Materials/Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents, at the awareness and operations levels, including Section 6.2, Mission-Specific Competencies: Personal Protective Equipment and Section 6.6, Mission-Specific Competencies: Product Control.Click here to view a sample chapter from Fundamentals of Fire Fighter Skills, Second Edition.
Download or read book Fire Buildup in a Room and the Role of Interior Finish Materials Classic Reprint written by Jin B. Fang and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-09 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Buildup in a Room and the Role of Interior Finish Materials A variety of wall and ceiling panels in a full-scale room corner have been exposed to a fire from a standardized wood crib, simulating the environment produced by the burning of a single item of furniture, to evaluate their contribution to room fire growth. A total of twenty room corner tests were performed using selected combinations of eight wood-base and gypsum board-base interior finish materials on the walls and ceiling. Gas tempera tures and velocities, surface temperatures, heat fluxes, smoke densities, and concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were measured. Ignition times of newsprint, cotton fabric and plywood in the lower part of the room were also recorded. The results of these full-scale tests were compared with laboratory tests of the ease of ignition, surface flame spread, heat release rate and smoke generation on the same mater ials. The maximum upper room gas temperature has been found to agree with the ignition of such indicators as newsprint and plywood, and to represent a measure of fire hazard in terms of potential involvement of all combustible contents or room flash over. A temperature range of 450 to 650°c appears to be the boundary between limited and full involvement. Key words: Buildings; fire growth; flame spread; heat release; interior linings; material ignitability; performance criteria; room fires; smoke; wood crib.
