High-Rise Buildings
“One of the very finest texts available in relation to high-rise firefighting, fire protection and tall building fire safety management. It offers a local but also an international flavour. I know how long it took the authors to piece this amazing book together. It was worth the wait.”

Recently I was chatting with a chief and he asked me about the book and what was the breakdown on information. The 12 COMMANDMENTS, I told this chief it will be a good book to purchase and you can use it to cherry pick the information as needed. 7 YEARS is along time out of these chiefs lives, but it was well worth it at the end,. A CHIEF SHOULD have this in their library to reference.
