Perform to an optimum level on the fireground by learning safe response methods based on the knowledge of how a fire starts, reacts, and escalates under various conditions. Straight-forward and reader-friendly, Fire Behavior and Combustion Processes clearly explains the key technical points of fire behavior and how each relates to the tasks involved in firefighting. Rather than an engineering-level text, this resource offers basic need-to-know information and examples to illustrate to firefighters and students why it is essential to their jobs to understand how a fire behaves - whether they are working in a burning building or are involved in a vehicle extrication. Based on the National Fire Academy FESHE course Fire Behavior and Combustion Processes, this book is essential to fire programs in colleges, academies, and departments.

This is an an excellent overview of fire behavior and the combustion process that is a MUST HAVE for basic firefighters who want to understand the why and how of fire. Chapters are short, the style is easy to read, and ideas are conveyed in a way that allows the reader to easily retain important concepts. When I bought this book I thought I understood fire, after all I'm a human male with matches available!!! One starts a fire, it burns and one controls what burns by moving things out of the way or putting the fire out. What could be easier, right? While part of that is true, there is SO much more to the story. Fire behaves in ways I never considered but should have and firefighters HAVE to consider or the world will become a much different place. This is an awesome book and should be read by everyone aspiring to the fire service as well as everyone else, particularly those who own a home, a business,or would like to build or own either. This is well written and very enjoyable to read. This is NOT a book that will just sit on your self.
An ok read, but I would suggest "Fire Investigator, Principals and practices of NFPA 921 and 1033".The "Combustion Process" book put me to sleep quicker than most...you know what I mean.
I needed this textbook for my Fire Technology degree. It was very informative and helped me pass the class with ease.The book is filled with diagrams and photos which are really helpful!Not much more to say!
Book was great and very well written. Easy even for the novice to understand. Didn't actually end up using it in class much.
It said it was going to be like new and it was brand new.
Great book, easy reading. I like the inserts and side bars. The questions at the end of the chapters are great for review.
i needed this book for a class and it did that. good condition but used. will do business again. could be cheaper.
very informative but i only got this book for a class i'm taking. book came in good condition so there.
