Customer Reviews

It's the Gold Standard
This book is a required reference for anyone dealing with fire code issues for any reason. There have been many revisions of previous codes, so buying a personal copy is recommended even though it is expensive. Best if used in conjunction with the latest edition of the International Building Code.

Less than useless.
Not much use if specific info is required. References a lot of other specs but provides little or no information that can actually be applied to design a fire fighting system. I would not buy it again or recommend purchase.
