A Handbook 15 Years in the Making
The Fire Protection Handbook, one of NFPA’s oldest and most significant publications, has undergone a wholesale update for the first time in 15 years. The new edition will be out this spring. We talk to Nick Dawe, a fire marshal in Georgia, and Casey Grant, a fire protection engineer and the former executive director of the Fire Protection Research Foundation, about the handbook’s importance in the fire protection world, as well as the many new hazards that have emerged since the last edition was published in the mid 2000s. Then, on a new Code Corner, NFPA engineer Shawn Mahoney addresses some misconceptions about fire alarm strobe lights.
