Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science in Fire-Fighting The purpose of this work is to furnish the student fireman with a text-book in which the character and arrangement of the subject matter shall be such as to fulfill the following requirements: (1) Provide a course of study adopted to the development of ability to engage in work requiring, in its performance, sound logical reasoning and sustained mental effort. (2) Show the scientific principles involved in the various operations which firemen perform, and connect these principles with the performance, in such manner, that men acquainted with them may be capable of the maximum of efficiency in executing these operations. (3) Furnish a large number of simple mathematical problems upon matters incident to operations performed at fires, including a number upon those features of hydraulics that are peculiarly applicable to fire service. The work is arranged under three headings. (1) Mechanics. (2) Hydraulics. (3) Heat and Combustion. Under the heading of mechanics the scientific principles involved in handling appliances, raising and extending ladders and water-towers are shown, and the forces required in the execution of the various operations are shown mathematically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides students and academics with a conceptual understanding of fire behavior and fire effects on people and ecosystems to support effective integrated fire management. Through case studies, interactive spreadsheets programmed with equations and graphics, and clear explanations, the book provides undergraduate, graduate, and professional readers with a straightforward learning path. The authors draw from years of experience in successfully teaching fundamental concepts and applications, synthesizing cutting-edge science, and applying lessons learned from fire practitioners. We discuss fire as part of environmental and human health. Our process-based, comprehensive, and quantitative approach encompasses combustion and heat transfer, and fire effects on people, plants, soils, and animals in forest, grassland, and woodland ecosystems from around the Earth. Case studies and examples link fundamental concepts to local, landscape, and global fire implications, including social-ecological systems. Globally, fire science and integrated fire management have made major strides in the last few decades. Society faces numerous fire-related challenges, including the increasing occurrence of large fires that threaten people and property, smoke that poses a health hazard, and lengthening fire seasons worldwide. Fires are useful to suppress fires, conserve wildlife and habitat, enhance livestock grazing, manage fuels, and in ecological restoration. Understanding fire science is critical to forecasting the implication of global change for fires and their effects. Increasing the positive effects of fire (fuels reduction, enhanced habitat for many plants and animals, ecosystem services increased) while reducing the negative impacts of fires (loss of human lives, smoke and carbon emissions that threaten health, etc.) is part of making fires good servants rather than bad masters.
