Fire Prevention and Safety

I used J.C. Robertson's, Introduction to Fire Prevention, 7th Edition for a senior level fire safety class. There are so many facets covered, the author did a fantastic job packing subjects, definitions, and there relationship to fire prevention. The subjects and sentence structures are understandable and easy to read. This is a great reference book; it covers related prevention - support departments from fire prevention's history, insurance, statistics; and state, federal, and private organizations and agencies, to law enforcement and terrorism. Because the book already has several editions, the grammar and content, readability are tested by students and others interested!

Informative
