Synopsis

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.
