Testimonials “I have the honor of having known Dave Clark since 1984 when I was a student in IFSI’s Officer’s Fireground School where he was an instructor. Throughout Dave’s career he has always been a student of the game. Because of his dedication, experience, research, and years of hands-on instructing, this great book tells how to do the job aggressively and—most importantly—safely.” —Robert S. Hoff, Chicago Fire Commissioner (ret.) and IFSI Field Instructor “Dave Clark brings decades of experience combating residential fires and presents a commonsense approach to firefighting, addressing ‘what’s the building going to do with the fire and what’s the fire going to do with the building.’” —Lew Lake, Battalion Chief, Wheaton FD (ret.) and IFSI Chicago Training Program director “I’ve heard ‘Get ready . . . we’re going in!’ many times over the past 40 years working with Chief Dave Clark at IFSI. He’s fought fires in big cities and small towns teaching streams and ventilation but mostly fire behavior and how to use it to your advantage. He is the best at passing along lessons to the fire service.” —Jack “Jr.” Rutledge, Illinois Fire Service Institute senior instructor; Delta Air Lines (ret.)

This book provides a comprehensive overview of deaths and injuries from residential fires as well as the most up to date information on evidence-based approaches to reduce this problem. The volume serves as a guide for professionals working in the field of fire prevention and as a textbook for instruction in universities and fire service schools. The authors’ interdisciplinary approach, where public health methodology is combined with fire protection engineering, medicine, and policy science, is quite distinctive outside of the technical literature devoted to larger scale fire events. Traditional textbooks on fire protection tend to describe the problem as purely technical, whereas in essence it is a problem of human vulnerability. In this book, readers will find lucid and rigorous descriptions of various risk groups and effective preventive measures that are effective, both in general and with respect to the different risk groups. They will also find work processes to facilitate risk reduction. Summarizing state-of-the-art knowledge and giving guidance for the future, both in terms of preventive efforts and ongoing research, Residential Fire Safety: An Interdisciplinary Approach, is ideal for students, educators, and practitioners of residential fire protection.

Everything we do--or don't do--affects the fire. Deputy Chief P.J. Norwood and Captain Sean Gray discuss how fireground strategy and tactics have evolved in light of fire research conducted around the world. They discuss the fire tetrahedron and how fuel, heat, and air all affect a fire’s growth or extinguishment. Gray and Norwood take the lessons learned from the research as well as their general knowledge of the fireground to illustrate safer and more effective ways to operate on the fireground. They discuss how to apply this new understanding of fire behavior to two of the fire service’s most important tasks: search and fire attack. This book is an important resource for anyone wanting to put new fire dynamics research to action. You will learn: --How firefighting activities affect the fire tetrahedron --To stay safe while working in the flow path on the fireground --Search methods that isolate the firefighter and victim --Fire attack methods that minimize the air fed to the fire --Incident command size up and decision making
