Dunn, a retired deputy chief in the New York City Fire Department and the author of numerous books on firefighting procedures offers detailed analysis of why and how buildings collapse in a fire, providing information for firefighters, inspectors and building engineers on every aspect of the deadly firefighting problem. The volume presents information on many types of structures in collapse, including masonry walls, wood floors, timber truss roofs, stairways and lightweight steel roofs and floors and provides additional discussion on subjects such as construction site fire fighting, search and rescue in collapsed structures, safety precautions and high rise building collapse. This second edition is updated throughout, including information on the destruction of the World Trade Centers in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the volume is dedicated to the memory of the firefighters killed there. Numerous illustrations and technical drawings are supplied throughout. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
