As fire departments struggle with smaller budgets and increased demands for service, innovative prevention strategies are becoming increasingly more important. Combining all the elements of fire and life safety prevention, Fire Prevention: A Comprehensive Approach is the first text to take into account the broad range of prevention activities that must be coordinated for a modern approach to prevention. Going well beyond code enforcement and plan review, it details how to utilize all the tools available through public education, and how to contribute to planning efforts by incorporating investigation activities into a coordinated strategy for loss control. Whether preparing for a career in fire and life safety prevention or currently managing these programs, Fire Prevention will help you plan effectively.
