Completing a full scene assessment upon arrival at an incident can significantly lower the overall risks, as well allow for a more effective response. Reading Fire supports frontline practitioners in gathering information upon arrival at an incident, using the 'BE-SAHF' model of assessment. Using a step-by-step approach, it considers each critical area of the model, from building, construction and environmental factors, to understanding and reading smoke, airflow, heat and flames. It explores each of these areas in depth and considers the evidence that needs to be analysed in order to formulate an effective tactical plan.

Principles of Tropical Air Conditioning is written with the humid tropics in mind. It is intended to meet the syllabus of the Higher National Diploma (HND) or equivalent professional examinations in Building Services Engineering. It is also designed to cover the air conditioning course content of the new Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng) degree approved by the National Universities Commission. It is specifically focused in providing design data for tropical air conditioning system design and provides illustrative examples that can give young practitioners enough information to evaluate air conditioning and refrigeration cooling loads and equipment selection with minimum supervision. In addition, Principles of Tropical Air Conditioning serves as quick reference source containing useful design data and parameters often required by the practicing engineer.
