Fire Protection Systems

Fire Protection Systems, 3rd Edition, is a textbook that introduces the design and operation of life safety and suppression equipment. The volume meets and exceeds the National Fire Academy's Fire and Emergency Services Higher Education course outcomes for the Associate core course C0288.

Coverage outlines fire alarm and detection systems, automatic sprinklers, smoke control and management, and emergency response systems. The text also examines special hazard fire protection, addressing both fixed chemical arrangements and portable extinguishers.

To connect design concepts with practical field applications, each chapter begins with a real-world case study and concludes with a fictional scenario that tests student comprehension.
