This manual is intended to furnish the reader with basic information about how
buildings are designed and constructed. This information will aid in decision
making related to fire prevention and fire control. Whether enforcing fire
codes, inspecting buildings, developing pre-incident plans, fighting fires,
directing fire ground operations, overseeing firefighter safety, or
investigating fires, a thorough understanding of building construction
principles and practices as these relate to fire behavior and fire load will
enable firefighters to make better, safer, and more timely decisions to
protect people and property from potential and actual fires. Although this
manual is not based on an NFPA standard, many principles discussed in this
text mirror NFPA job performance requirements from standards such as NFPA
1001, 1006, 1021, and 1031. This manual is designed to meet the objectives
delineated in the model course outline for Building Construction for Fire
Protection as established by the Fires and Emergency Services Higher Education
(FESHE) initiative of the United States Fire Administration (USFA).
