SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Firefighters and other emergency responders deal with a number of fire protection systems in their daily response to emergencies. This book provides a straightforward overview of the functions and benefits of these systems and how they can assist with fire suppression, code enforcement, alarm response, and elevator rescue. Its comprehensive discussion of elevators, fire command centers, emergency generators and lighting, and HVAC systems sets this book apart from other fire protection books currently available. Fire protection systems continue to be an important part of fire protection. Logically organized and clearly written, this book covers all systems in a single text.
