| fire protection design training: Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service Francis Brannigan, Glenn Corbett, 2010-02-22 Brannigan’s Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition is a must read for fire fighters, prospective fire fighters, and fire science students. This edition continues the Brannigan tradition of using plain language to describe technical information about different building types and their unique hazards. This text ensures that critical fire fighting information is easy-to-understand and gives valuable experience to fire fighters before stepping onto the fireground. The first edition of Building Construction for the Fire Service was published in 1971. Frank Brannigan was compelled to write the most comprehensive building construction text for the fire service so that he could save fire fighters’ lives. His passion for detail and extensive practical experience helped him to develop the most popular text on the market. His motto of: “Know your buildings,” informs every aspect of this new edition of the text. Listen to a Podcast with Brannigan's Building Construction for the Fire Service, Fourth Edition co-author Glenn Corbett to learn more about this training program! Glenn discusses his relationship with the late Frank Brannigan, the dangers of heavy construction timber, occupancy specific hazards, and other areas of emphasis within the Fourth Edition.

| fire protection design training: The Fourth Industrial Revolution Klaus Schwab, 2017-01-03 World-renowned economist Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, explains that we have an opportunity to shape the fourth industrial revolution, which will fundamentally alter how we live and work. Schwab argues that this revolution is different in scale, scope and complexity from any that have come before. Characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the developments are affecting all disciplines, economies, industries and governments, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, from supercomputers, drones and virtual assistants to 3D printing, DNA sequencing, smart thermostats, wearable sensors and microchips smaller than a grain of sand. But this is just the beginning: nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than a strand of hair and the first transplant of a 3D printed liver are already in development. Imagine “smart factories” in which global systems of manufacturing are coordinated virtually, or implantable mobile phones made of biosynthetic materials. The fourth industrial revolution, says Schwab, is more significant, and its ramifications more profound, than in any prior period of human history. He outlines the key technologies driving this revolution and discusses the major impacts expected on government, business, civil society and individuals. Schwab also offers bold ideas on how to harness these changes and shape a better future—one in which technology empowers people rather than replaces them; progress serves society rather than disrupts it; and in which innovators respect moral and ethical boundaries rather than cross them. We all have the opportunity to contribute to developing new frameworks that advance progress. |

The handbook provides information needed for the analysis of design fires, including considerations of sprinklers, shielded fires, and transient fuels. It is also extremely useful for practicing engineers, architects, code officials, researchers, and students. Following the success of Principles of Smoke Management in 2002, this new book incorporates the latest research and advances in smoke control practice. New topics in the handbook are: controls, fire and smoke control in transport tunnels, and full-scale fire testing. For those getting started with the computer models CONTAM and CFAST, there are simplified instructions with examples. This is the first smoke control book with climatic data so that users will have easy-to-use weather data specifically for smoke control design for locations in the U.S., Canada, and throughout the world. Systems discussed in the handbook include those for stairwell pressurization, elevator pressurization, zoned smoke control, and atrium smoke control. The latest smoke control research and most current engineering approaches are also included. Unique to previous smoke control literature, this handbook provides many example calculations to help designers prevent smoke damage. |

| fire protection design training: The Design and Layout of Fire Sprinkler Systems, Second Edition Mark Bromann, 1997-07-10 FROM THE INTRODUCTION Be it on the job or in the classroom, this text is directed towards the individual beginning vocational training in the engineering discipline of automatic fire sprinkler system design. National building and fire codes are revised and updated almost annually. Until this book, there has been very little published to aid sprinkler system designers, particularly in the area of design basics. Although designed as a text, this book's target audience is not limited to students. Its purpose is to see that the information discussed can be applied by those already employed as consulting engineers and architects as well as those engineers specializing in related areas of fire protection engineering. It is also directed towards the needs of insurance underwriters, fire protection researchers, building inspectors, and municipal officials. If ongoing education is pivotal to the focus of the attitude of the professional, then exposure to works such as this will provide a solid benefit to his or her abilities as a competent engineer. This text will not only outline the role of the fire sprinkler designer, but will shed light on the broad expanse of responsibilities this role encompasses. As many fire protection publications do a thorough job of keeping professionals abreast of changing code requirements, the goal of this work is to furnish an overview of the basics necessary to initiate sprinkler system design and layout. It typically takes two or more years of on-the-job training for a sprinkler designer to feel confident and comfortable in his responsibilities. This book is organized with the intention of speeding that process. This book is formatted for a semester-length curriculum. The contents are structured for easy learning, and as a guide in acquiring a foundation of knowledge that will accentuate the subsequent understanding of various detailed fire codes and pamphlets. It also serves as a preparation for the NICET examination, and a vocational reference tool. 150+ study questions are included. |

National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control, 1989 The striking aspect of the Nation's fire problem is the indifference with which Americans confront the subject. Destructive fire takes a huge toll in lives, injuries, and property losses, yet there is no need to accept those losses with resignation. There are many measures, often very simple precautions, that can be taken to reduce those losses significantly. To encourage solutions to these problems, the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control has made recommendations in this report. |
