This groundbreaking book contains a broad yet detailed coverage of
the major aspects of fire engineering. As would be expected, such
matters as fire extinguishers, flame-retardants and fire-fighting
feature centrally, with descriptions, from the functional point of
view, of fire appliances from selected manufacturers around the
world. There is coverage of selected accidental fires, both recent
ones and those which have been on record for many years as being
amongst the most serious in terms of loss of life. Social and
political aspects of fire engineering also feature in the book, for
example in accounts of fires in countries where buildings are
sub-standard in safety terms and fire services are unreliable. Fire
safety products are an integral part of the subject and
improvements in fire safety have to a considerable degree been due
to development work by manufacturers and trade names therefore
feature in the book where applicable. Scientific and engineering
details of the products have been obtained and re-expressed in
broad terms. The author has paid close attention to the underlying
physics and chemistry and some of the topics are complemented by
calculations.
