Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion with Advantage Access, 5th Edition
This text comes with Navigate Advantage Access.
Based on the National Fire Academy's Fire Behavior and Combustion model curriculum
Principles of Fire Behavior and Combustion, Fifth Edition is the most current and accurate source of fire behavior information available to firefighters and fire science students today. Readers will develop a thorough understanding of the chemical and physical properties of flammable materials and fire, the combustion process, and the latest in suppression and extinguishment.
Mapped fully to the National Fire Academy's Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) model curriculum bachelor's level course Fire Dynamics (C0257), this edition includes the bachelor's level correlation grid.
The Fifth Edition features:
Expanded examples showing the connection of the principles of fire science to major fires and their outcomes.
New: Computational examples relevant to fires illustrate the principles of fire behavior and combustion.
New: A new Math Refresher Appendix provides a review of the basic mathematical tools and a summary of the mathematical notations used in this book.
Expanded notes and tips that enhance chapter material with facts, history, safety tips, and in-depth content.
A new discussion of the DiNenno Prize and the recipients' game-changing contributions to fire science and fire safety.
Includes a correlation grid mapping the content to the National Fire Academy's Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) Fire Behavior and Combustion (C0276) model curriculum course, the correlation grid is included within the instructor materials that supports the text.
