Fire Prevention and Protection: A Compilation of Insurance Regulations Covering Modern Restrictions on Hazards and Suggested Improvements in Building Construction and Fire Prevention and Extinguishment (Classic Reprint) by A C Huston (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from Fire Prevention and Protection: A Compilation of Insurance Regulations Covering Modern Restrictions on Hazards and Suggested Improvements in Building Construction and Fire Prevention and Extinguishment In the preparation of this book it has been the aim of its publishers to place before merchants, manufacturers and underwriters, as succinctly and conveniently as possible, the kwledge necessary to the most thorough protection from fire and its consequent danger, trouble and loss; in addition it is believed that it will be of great value to fire departments, as in other book are the various protective features to be found so completely set forth. There are many methods by which the physical hazard of mercantile and manufacturing establishments may be so improved as to materially lessen the liability to fire, and also to command considerable reductions in premium rates for insurance. The latter consideration will appeal strongly to those who have been accustomed to exercising the utmost care in the preservation of their property in ordinary ways, but who would t care to go to the expense necessary to the fullest protection without the practical recognition of their effort and outlay in the form of a lessened expense for premiums. The plan of this work includes the presentation of references to the various materials and devices which have been found useful in preventing or extinguishing fires, accompanied by such information as will enable a property owner to be guided in the use of approved appliances and materials. It covers all suggested regulations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters and its allied organizations, concerning the matters treated in this book. Embodied in this work will be found a considerable amount of miscellaneous information, all tending to give a clearer understanding of matters connected with the prevention and extinguishment of fire.
