Résumé : |
Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion, Fourth Edition will provide readers with a thorough understanding of the chemical and physical properties of flammable materials and fire, the combustion process, and the latest in suppression and extinguishment. The Fourth Edition of this time-tested resource is the most current and accurate source of fire behavior information available to fire science students and on-the-job fire fighters today. Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion, Fourth Edition features: Complete coverage of the National Fire Academy’s Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Fire Behavior and Combustion model curriculum. A clear, reader-friendly style to help simplify even the most challenging subject matter. Practice problems incorporated throughout the text to help bridge the gap between theory and application on the fireground. |
