Fire Prevention Inspection and Code Enforcement was first published by Delmar-Cengage publishing in 1998. I received favorable comments from instructors over the years and circulation was good through three editions. I received bad news in 2013-- Cengage Publishing was dropping their fire science line. I was baffled. Sales had always been brisk.
Cengage graciously offered to return publishing rights to all of their fire science authors. Initially, I was too shocked to understand what a generous gesture that would turn out to be. After co-writing Report Writing Code for Inspectors with Dr. Jean Reynolds, which we wrote and self-published, I realized that I could update Fire Prevention Inspection and Code Enforcement and offer it at a very reasonable price.

The fourth edition of Fire Prevention Inspection and Code Enforcement is updated to reflect the 2012 ICC and Uniform Fire Codes. This book features step-by-step explanations and practical examples of the use of model building and fire codes, including detailed information on the legal, economic, and political aspects of the fire inspection process. A comprehensive guide to the "nuts and bolts" of actually inspecting and codes, topics addressed include: right of entry, enforcement authority, the permit system, building limits and types of construction, and fire protection systems and their maintenance. The 3-part format enables readers to progress logically from the study of code administration, inspection, and enforcement procedures. Ideal for use as a key component of any professional fire-inspector training program, this book also serves as an excellent reference for building and property maintenance inspectors.
