About this ebook
Firefighting in high-rise buildings is very different from firefighting in normal residential or commercial buildings. In addition to the basics of high-rise building construction, the book specifically addresses the hazards of high-rise firefighting. A phase model is used as an example to show how a high-rise fire operation can proceed and what needs to be planned and carried out in each phase of the operation. The book concludes with example operations, advice on self-rescue from fire brigade lifts and tips on correct ventilation.
