This book will provide the fundamental concepts of fire protection as they relate to site planning. It will educate readers whether they be architects, engineers, developers, fire fighters, fire inspectors, or code officials, and explain the importance of proper site plan review. Poor design and overlooked details often lead to delayed response time, resulting in loss of life and property. Topics covered will include the importance of grading, fire codes, fire flow, fire truck access, fire department connections, aerial ladder truck access, fire lines, and more. These concepts will allow one to design and evaluate site plans thereby increasing response time and public safety.
