THE BOOK

Fire Safety is the science of fre and the means of protecton against
it. Being multdisciplinary in nature, the subject is closely related
to chemical engineering, building services, electrical, electronics,
structural and civil engineering and industrial engineering.
There is a dearth of books on this subject, and therefore, the author
aims to provide readers with a lucidly writen, comprehensive text
explaining the fundamentals of the fre process and means of
protecton.
Comprising eleven chapters, this well-illustrated book with data
tables begins with the introducton of the subject and then proceeds
to explain fre process, its chemistry, heat and temperature in fre,
hydraulics, actve and passive fre protecton systems, risk management
and insurance, and fnally investgatons and reconstructons of
fre incidents. The book appends useful informaton on fre safety
including cases to explain the causes of fre, Indian Standards on fre
safety, explosion and propertes of some fammable materials.
Fire safety engineering students and professionals will fnd this book
of immense use to them.
