{"product_id":"fire-protection-robert-burke-9781566706223","title":"Fire Protection: Systems and Response","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe modern definition of firefighter no longer means \"putting the wet stuff on the red stuff.\" Emergency responders answer incidents ranging from fire alarm activations to elevator rescues and medical emergencies more often than full-blown fires. Consequently, responders increasingly interface with a wide array of building systems. Underscoring the changing role of firefighters, \u003cb\u003eFire Protection: Systems and Response\u003c\/b\u003e presents the basic knowledge of the inner workings of fire safety\/fire protection systems and related equipment in buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author 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. The book's comprehensive discussion of elevators, fire command centers, emergency generators and lighting, and HVAC systems sets it apart from other fire protection books currently available. The topics covered prepare emergency response personnel for the challenges they face working with fire protection systems, fire alarm systems, and elevators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLogically organized, clearly written, and covering all systems in a single text, this presentation of information streamlines fire service interaction with building features and fire protection systems. Providing an understanding of how systems are designed and installed, the book is also a reference for troubleshooting fire protection problems in the field.
