Description
INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY & MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES. Achieve a clear understanding of fire and combustion processes as they relate to the firefighter in this reader-friendly and concise book. Fire Behavior and Combustion Processes applies the theory of fire behavior to the tasks involved in firefighting. Rather than an engineering level text, this resource offers basic need to know information and examples to teach firefighters and students how the theories relate to their jobs and safety, whether they are working in a burning building or on a vehicle extrication. Based on the National Fire Academy FESHE course Fire Behavior and Combustion Processes, this book is essential to fire programs in colleges, academies, and departments.
