This handbook aims at modernizing the current state of civil
engineering and firefighting, especially in this era where
infrastructures are reaching new heights, serving diverse
populations, and being challenged by unique threats. Its aim is to
set the stage toward realizing contemporary, smart, and resilient
infrastructure. The Handbook of Cognitive and Autonomous Systems
for Fire Resilient Infrastructures draws convergence between civil
engineering and firefighting to the modern realm of
interdisciplinary sciences (i.e., artificial intelligence, IoT,
robotics, sensing, and human psychology). As such, this work aims
to revolutionize the current philosophy of design for one of the
most notorious extreme events: fire. Unlike other publications,
which are narrowed to one specific research area, this handbook
cultivates a paradigm in which critical aspects of structural
design, technology, and human behavior are studied and examined
through chapters written by leaders in their fields. This handbook
can also serve as a textbook for graduate and senior undergraduate
students in Civil, Mechanical, and Fire Protection engineering
programs as well as for students in Architectural and social
science disciplines. Students, engineers, academics, professionals,
scientists, firefighters, and government officials involved in
national and international societies such as the American Society
of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Society of Fire Protection Engineers
(SFPE), National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), among others, will
benefit from this handbook.

Fire Engineering's Handbook for Firefighter I & II is written
to 2019 NFPA Standards 1001. From fire service history to basic
fire attack and building construction to firefighter safety, Fire
Engineering's 2019 update is the standard instruction handbook for
firefighters. It contains lessons learned from more than 40
experienced subject-matter experts who share their insight and
knowledge. Edited by Glenn Corbett, Fire Engineering magazine's
technical editor, this 2019 update gives readers practical,
real-world, time-tested knowledge and skills.
