Author: David Diamantes
Learn how to conduct fire inspections! This edition of Fire
Prevention: Inspection and Code Enforcement features
step-by-step explanations and practical examples of the use of model
building and fire prevention codes, including detailed information
on the legal, economic, and political aspects of the fire inspection
process.
A comprehensive guide to the "nuts and bolts" of actually
inspecting and enforcing code, topics addressed include: right of
entry, enforcement authority, the permit system, building limits and
types of construction, and fire protection systems and their
maintenance.
Thoroughly updated, this edition now features an all-new section
on flow testing of water supplies plus hard-to-find coverage of the
latest code requirements for hazardous materials. Its convenient,
3-part format enables readers to progress logically from the study
of code administration, inspection, and enforcement procedures, to a
review of model building code fundamentals, through the actual "ins"
and "outs" of the inspection process.
Ideal for use as a key component of any professional
fire-inspector training program, this book also serves as an
excellent reference for building and property maintenance inspectors
whose responsibilities often include fire protection issues.
