Fire Following Earthquake is the first book to cover the entire range of fire following earthquake (FFE) issues ranging from historical fires to 20th century fires in Kobe, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Northridge. FFE has the potential of causing catastrophic losses in the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and other seismically active countries with wood-houses. This is the most comprehensive book on FFE and urban conflagrations providing current state-of-the-practice insight on unique issues such as large diameter flex hose applications by fire and water departments. Water utility engineers, fire fighting professionals, insurers, and emergency response planners will benefit from reading this book.
