Fire Essentials and Fire Science
According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2011, the cost of unwanted fire events accounted for $329 Billion, or 2.1% of the GDP. Understanding the fundamentals of fire behavior is critical for planners, designers and the construction trades to achieve a safe and sustainable society. Controlling and managing a friendly or hostile fire process or event is a specialty unto itself and requires a strong foundation in fire science for future education and professional development. All fields of engineering and design will be touched by this ever present tool and hazard. This interactive online course will guide you through fire history, simplified explanations of the processes of various types of fires, health risks, and common control and suppression techniques for a hostile fire.
