In 1971, Francis L. Brannigan created the first textbook focused on Building Construction for the Fire Service. His goal was to
offer the most comprehensive building construction resource available to fire fighters in order to save fire fighter's lives. This book is the Fourth Edition of that groundbreaking resource. The Fourth Edition honors Frank Brannigan's legacy by continuing his passion for detail and extensive practical experience. His motto, "Know your buildings," impacts every aspect of this new edition. It presents critical firefighting information, in an easy-to-understand format, and ensures that fire fighters have the knowledge they need before they step onto the fireground.

Exam Prep: Building Construction for the Fire Service is designed to prepare you to sit for a building construction certification, promotion, or training examination by including the same type of multiple-choice questions you are likely to encounter.
