IFSTA’s Fire Protection, Detection, and Suppression Systems, 6th Edition provides firefighters, fire prevention personnel, inspectors, students, and other fire service professionals with a comprehensive introduction to modern fire protection systems. The manual explains the components, operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of systems used to detect, control, and suppress fires. It also explores their roles in life safety, property protection, and fire department operations.
Topics include fire detection and alarm systems, water supply systems, water-based fire suppression systems, standpipe systems, fire pumps, portable fire extinguishers, special hazard fire suppression systems, and smoke control systems. Throughout the manual, readers develop an understanding of how these systems function, how their components interact, and how firefighters and other fire service professionals encounter them during emergency and nonemergency operations.
The 6th Edition is aligned with the newly updated outcomes for the Fire and Emergency Services for Higher Education (FESHE) Associate Core Course Fire Protection Systems and includes references to NFPA 1030, Standard for Professional Qualifications for Fire Prevention Program Positions. The manual is ideal for undergraduate fire science courses and may also serve as a valuable reference for fire service professionals seeking to expand their knowledge or prepare for promotional examinations.
**This manual is not intended as a substitute for the training of fire inspectors or systems design, maintenance, and inspection personnel, but it can serve as a valuable resource for personnel engaged in these activities.**
