Building Construction

Just a quick post on building construction for the fire service. Two new books have been released in the past month covering this important subject.

First, from Delmar Cengage learning, is Knowing Your Buildings. This illustrative reference guide is designed to improve safety and performance on the fireground. It has a chapter dedicated to risk management and building construction basics that emphasizes safety. It also has an A-Z illustrated terminology reference guide.

Also IFSTA has released the 3rd edition of their Building Construction Related to the Fire Service. This new edition provides firefighters with basic instructions about building design and construction, and how that relates to emergency services. The 3rd edition also includes new photos and illustrations and case histories. It also emphasizes firefighter safety and newer types of construction, along with "green" construction principles.

Previously released book include 2008's Building Construction Methods and Materials for the Fire Service from Brady, and Francis Brannigan's Building Construction For The Fire Service 4th ed. This edition honors Brannigan's motto of "know your buildings" by using plain language to deliver technical information about different building types and their unique hazards.
